OUTFIT DETAILSSPORTS BRA c/o | TENNIS SKIRT c/o

Tennis!!!! I played all through high school and tried to keep playing it in college, noncompetitively of course. I live a couple blocks from my old high school courts and have started to pick the game up again.

This sport is one you can pick up pretty easily when you haven't played in a while, you WON'T be where you left off but it's easy to remember the fundamentals.

Tasc Performance has an array of options for workout clothes, I love the soft texture of them and how they adapt with movement. You know, it's not pleasant when your tennis skirt gets stuck in the most obtrusive places. This one stays where it should, thank goodness!!!

The basics of the game so you can enjoy it too:

Scoring:

• In the court: The court is set up with alleys on each side, this is an out of bounds area or if the ball hits outside of the back line of the court. When playing doubles, the outside lines of the entire court are the boundaries. Confusing, I know!
• Game: When you serve it's called love all. The first point won is 15. When you serve you call out, Love 15 or 15 Love depending on if you won that point. The game points continue on with 30,40, Game. If both have 40 points, it's a deuce. Keep playing until one person wins by two points ahead of the other.
• Set: 3 Games in a set. The person that wins the set, has to win by 2.
• Match: The one who wins 2 out of the 3 games is the match winner.

Serving:

• Make it easy on yourself if you have never served before by dropping the ball on the ground and hitting it over the net, more or less an underhand serve. See HERE.
• Overhead serving: see HERE.

Rally (BEGINNER):

• Just get the ball over the net before it bounces twice!
• Backhand or forehand, whichever way is easiest for you to receive the ball and send it across the net again. HERE are great tutorials on how to hit backhand and forehand!

At the end of the day, as long as you are having fun, that's all that matters!

Because tennis makes me have the weirdest faces when I serve....and I know my toe is over the line...it's all for the pictures lol!
