This course is designed to develop basic tennis skills including the forehand and backhand groundstrokes, serve, and volley. Students also learn the basic rules and etiquette of tennis as well as simple singles and doubles strategies. Grading is based on skills tests, an in-class singles and doubles tournament, an observation of a Corps Squad match, and a written final examination. An optional trip section is offered in the fall to the US Open Tennis Championships in Flushing, NY.
