Have any advice for a beginner high school girl tennis player?

I'm trying out for my team this year because I love to play tennis..lately i havent been playing much because of schoolwork and whatnot but i would like any advice there is to offer on anything!Have any advice for a beginner high school girl tennis player?
the best way to play tennis is to play it your way


1. you have to keep on your toes at all times as reaction speed and movement around the court is essential in this game. (coaches will be looking for this)


2. concentrate on every shot you make and stick to swing patterns ( keep it simple)


3. just cause the pros can do specky shots doesn't mean you can so keep it simple and when you have the opportunity then take it (good shots will impress but no one likes a show off)


4. time since you last played wont make you a worse tennis player so just get out there and have a good warm up before you have your trial and try to get out on a court as much as possible before the trial as practice is the only way to improve.


i hope this information helps.Have any advice for a beginner high school girl tennis player?
The number one most important thing that any beginner tennis player should focus on is consistency. If you can hit your shots consistently, even if they don't have much pace or placement, you can win just because the other person will eventually make an error. Of course this probably won't work if your opponent is a lot more experienced than you, but against a player of similar skill this strategy will work well. Also I wrote a beginner's guide to tennis that might help you out a bit, I put the link in my sources.
Keep it simple. To become a decent tennis player doesn't take much, but to get good takes a lot of time and energy. That being said, many people become way to cerebral when trying to play. Instead, try to let your body do what it naturally wants to do. I'd also tell you to look at taking some lessons. A great website as well that would be of help is www.essentialtennis.com
i tried out for my team for the first time this year and the best advice i can give you is during tryouts be on your toes ready to move at all times. don't ever stand still even when your waiting for the ball. my coach was evaluating us on how quickly we reacted and we moved towards the ball so just be alert and never stand stationary. good luck!
Just try and practice whenever possible - even if you don't feel like it just go to your nearest tennis court and just practice your serves. As long as you do some practice you'll get better and better.


Also remember to always have fun and concentrate :D
Just try to play as much as you can. Tennis is a very technical sport that requires a lot of coordination and that can't just come from playing a few times a week.
Just get out on the courts as much as possible and hit. Work on your endurance and speed.
go to lessons or practice in an indoor court. unlass itrs warm where you are.
U JUST CONCENTRATE ON UR GAME



The first step is to know how to go about it. Ask yourself, what is your tennis game? What does it consist of?











For starters, tennis is much more than a game of serves, volleys and groundstrokes. When you walk onto the court, you take more than your tennis racquet with you. You take your whole bag -- your temperament, your personality, your character and your brain.





To make my point, let's leave your game aside for a moment. Instead, let's analyze the games of two all-time greats, Pete Sampras and Roger Federer.





The first thing we need to do is break the game up into its four main areas, which are . . .








MENTAL





STRATEGIC





PHYSICAL





TECHNICAL





Now, let's see how Pete and Roger measure up in each area...





The MENTAL





This part of the game deals with such things as:








Determination





Staying cool under pressure





Overcoming the fear of playing a superior opponent





Overcoming the fear of losing to an inferior opponent





Dealing with an attack of nerves





Playing in front of a crowd





Handling unwanted distractions


Well, no flaws or weaknesses for Pete or Roger in this area. I give them each 10 out of 10.














If you're serious about improving the mental side of your game, no matter what level of player you are, the information in Tomaz Menzinger's recently released tennis e-book is guaranteed to improve your game.





In short, Tomaz's Mental Manual for Tennis Winners will enable you to overcome the biggest mental hurdles when confronting the most difficult on-court situations. You can read more about it by clicking here.





The STRATEGIC








Knowing which shots to play - and when





Reading your opponents game





Exploiting opponents' weaknesses





Covering up your own weaknesses





Where you stand to serve and return





Where you position yourself in the court between shots


When you get champions like Pete Sampras and Roger Federer, it's impossible to achieve such consistent results without a superb strategic ability. Unquestionably, 10 out of 10 for both.

















If you want to read the clearest, most logical approach to tennis tips and strategy you're likely to read -- ever -- you simply have to get this e-book. Truly, Tomaz explains tennis tips and strategy in terms that are easily understood by every tennis player.





Whether you're a beginner, an advanced player, or any level in between, I promise you that you'll win more matches by reading this book. It's absolutely superb!





The PHYSICAL








Stamina





Speed





Reflexes





Hand/Eye Co-ordination





Agility


Pete and Roger are both superbly gifted athletes. The only question mark is stamina. For example, how would they compare with Borg? It's possible that they would struggle with a series of long five set clay court battles at Roland Garros; however, on any other surface, their games are so economical and efficient that stamina, or lack of it, wouldn't really be a major factor.





10 out of 10 again for the two of them.





The TECHNICAL








The mechanics of each stroke





Footwork





Ready positions for returns, serves, at the net, between shots etc.





Split steps


As far as technique goes, you wouldn't find two more perfect players. Both possess stylish, all-round, aggressive games. Neither has a technical weakness in sight. Once again, a perfect score for both.





Now, how about you? Using the above as a guide, how do you measure up against Sampras and Federer?





By breaking the game up into its four fundamental components, it's simple to accurately evaluate your own game. The trick, though -- and here's one more of my tennis tips -- is to be able to address your weak areas by taking practical steps to improve them. And how you go about that is what makes tennis so much fun and so challenging.
