How do you play tennis?

First, you get a partner and get on a tennis court. Then, at the start of the game, choose who will serve first.\n\nEX:You serve 1st. Start behind the bottom line of the court on you side. Hit the ball into the opposite square on your opponent's side of the court. Make sure you don't pass the little white line in the center. If you don't in the first try, that is a fault. If the ball hits the top of the net and goes over to the other side, that is a let. Redo. No faults, no points. You get a second try. Try to hit the opposite square on your opponents side of the court. If you miss again, that is a double fault and your opponent gets a point. The score would say 0-15.(server's score is always first)Now, you switch sides(from one square to the other)If you succeed, and he/she can't return it, that is called an ace. You get one point(15-15)Now you go back to where you started.(It alternates each point)Now, you serve, and your opponent hits it back to you. It has to go over the net, and in front the line from where you serve, and not in the two boxes at the sides of the court.(Only in play for doubles)It is 40-30 now. You score. You win the game. NOT THE WHOLE GAME! The whole game is called a match. A match is seperated into sets, then games. You win the first set,(out of your choise, 3 or 5 sets.) 6-4.(6 games to win a set and by 2 games. There is a tiebraker, but I don't know that. Sorry.)2nd set:You win 7-5. You win the Match.(If played out of 3 sets.) I don't know if I'm missing anything, but that's my basic way of playing tennis the best way I could explain it.

Just listing stuff on what is most likely required to be on a team,...high school team....\n\nYou need to know how to play tennis. To know at least the basics, not all the special techniques, but like forehand, backhand, overhead smash, serve (two ways to do it), etc. You should know how to do it and when do it. Also, you can't just have the knowledge of tennis, you could study and read about all you want, but you need to know how to play it. Are you able to run for the balls, able to hit them back? You need to practice, practice, practice. \n\nAnd for you, since you are a beginner, you should be practicing. Especially if you want to get on a team. And yes, preferably, get a proffessional to help you, or some lessons from an experienced player. You could watch tennis matches and read about it to know about the moves and tatics, etc. \n\nIt's not guaranteed that you will make the team, but it's still a chance that you would get in. The time, now and before the tryouts, just keep practicing...\n\nIf you want any more tips, just ask. ^^

Tennis is a game with lots of ups and downs.  Most people play their best 25% of the time. They play their worst 25% of the time, and they play in the middle 50% of time. So it's normal to play well sometimes, and play poorly at other times. A lot of the time it's mental. If you don't think positively, you probably won't do well. If it's a matter of your strokes not being consistant, then hitting against a wall or using a ball machine is great because it grooves your strokes. The more you play, the better! Also, when I have problems with consistancy, I try to play less point play and more drills. This also helps to groove my strokes. Anyway, good luck in the next tourney!

Okay look at it this way...What will playing soccer do your your tennis skills?! Well lets break them down one by one shall we. (Now these is something that you can use to tell your parents to encourage them if you're really interested in playing soccer.)\n\n- running: it keeps you fit and flexible and helps with your agility.\n- footwork: will be dramatically improve since that is what soccer is all about. The better footwork you have the more you excel. Plus you need to have good footwork on the tennis court, eh?\n- aiming: sure its with your feet rather than with your hand but it will help you with your concentration. Make your more visual so you can visualize where ur gonna send that tennis ball.\n\nGetting ready: Keep running. Just like tennis where you help your agility around the court by running for the balls down the line do the same thing for soccer. Just place them farther apart each time as your progress. Take time with concentrating on the ball and keep reminding yourself that you are not allowed to touch the ball with your hands unless you are a goalkeeper!

well that is true when you go up to block use both hands. But when you ar on serve-recieve get take a step back and then right when they touch the ball take a step up. that gets you moving.  talk on the floor. Call outs, in, tip, dink, middle, outside, and when someone on your team spikes it make a "cup" around them just incase the other team blocks it. Also dont put your hands on your knees.  When you go to spike it then go for the ball like you are opening french doors.. that gets your upper body in motion and ready to hit.  Also wait for the ball when going to spike! and if you are setter then make sure your sets are consistant.. good luck

Use as much of your body as you can - legs, back, shoulders.  Don't just toss the ball up, stand straight up, and swing your racket.  Instead, once you've tossed the ball crouch your body, bending at the knees AND the waist, as low as you reasonably can.  At the same time drop the shoulder of the arm that your racket is in as low as you can while keeping your toss arm up in the air (this will help you balance).  When the ball reaches the top of the toss, spring/uncoil your body by straighteing/uncoiling your lower body and at the same time bring your shoulder with the racket up and through the ball.  Notice "through", your follow through across your body is every bit as important to power (and accuracy).  Note - racket speed also has something to do with it but get this motion down first and once you've gotten comfortable with it you can work on doing it faster for even more speed.

1st of all you need to know what level you are you'll know by long long you've played and if your getting it at a store hopefully someone could help you with it.\n2nd you need to find your swing style yes people have different swings ranging from short and slow to long and fast\n3rd you need to be comfortable with the racket pick 1 you think looks nice and would like to play with.\n\nif you follow that you should be able to find your perfect racket. i did this and now i'm a pro!

The older you are currently the harder it will be,  many of the professional tennis players on the circuit today started as young as 5 and have been having coaching and training hard ever since.\n\nThis does not mean that you cannot make it though, you just need exceptional self belief and personal drive. If you want it badly enough, anything is possible!\n\nOn a practical note I would firstly recommend joining a tennis club if you havern't done so already. Get some coaching which is essential to helping you improve your technique and always try and play people that are better than you and will challenge your game.\n\nEnter tournaments as other people have mentioned and basically strive to play as frequently as possible.\n\nFinally you constantly want to set realistic but challenging goals.\n\nGood Luck! \nIf you believe you're going to make it, I believe you will too! Let me know your name and I'll watch out for you.

Yes!! I love to play tennis.  I have even started my own team at school becuase we didn't previously have one.  With a little more practice I believe we will be ready to compete and I am seriously considering joining a community team for the coming year.  So while I don't currently compete I hope to in the future.

There are singles lines and dbles.  Whichever you're playing determines if it's in or out.  No matter which you're playing though if the ball touches ANY part of the line it's good.  You must be able to see a space between in order to call the ball out.  If you have to question yourself or do not know then the ball is good.  Tennis is based on the honor system and that applies to all who play.

It is if you have a good hand-eye coordination. I love tennis! After you practice, it's really fun! But, don't just think you have to just hit the ball. It's not that easy.

Join a local tennis club and play as often as you can.\n\nFirst take some lessons so you learn the proper way before you develop any bad habits in your game.\n\nIf you are playing against good players and you become good your talent will show.\n\nIf you are young enough and your parents have a lot of money you can go to some good tennis schools where they have top notch coaches.\n\nIt's not easy to get to the top but even if you don't you can still become a decent player and play for the fun of it most of your life and that will be good for your health.

Forget about which racquet is the highest rated. The racquet is nothing. Proper technique is everything.\n\nGet a dozen demo racquets and play-test them. Buy the one that works best for you. Spend whatever money is left over on tennis lessons (private lessons are STRONGLY preferred). \n\nIf you can't afford private lessons, buy several instructional books and/or video tapes. This is surely the fastest way to improve.\n\nThe magic is not in the racquet.
