It depends on what the coach wants.  I would make a chart with each skill on it.  Serve, pass, set, hit, block, etc.  Then on the other side of the chart have spaces for each player, then when I player does something in the game, you just have to put a mark in the box.  You can use use o, for a bad thing, like a missed serve, or a + for a good thing like an ace.  Then if they just get a serve in put a 1.  The coach should be able to give you some ideas.  He or she will know what they want out of the stats and that will help you know how to take them.

Two people before me, Bella and Cruzer, have answered your question. Cruzer's answer was quite long and detailed while Bella's answer was very short and sweet.\n\nI'm a nationally certified Tennis instructor, and I can tell you that Cruzer's advice, though impressive in its detail and volume, is completely uninformed and incorrect.\n\nAlthough Bella's answer was quite short, she's completely correct. \n\nIndeed, taking PRIVATE Tennis lessons from a renowned Tennis instructor is the surest and shortest route to improvement. Rest assured that the only way to control the ball is by learning proper technique and spin, be it topspin or slice.\n\nYou might be tempted to take group lessons, but do yourself a favor and leave this to beginners. For sure, if you've been playing tennis for a while and have seen too little improvement, only PRIVATE tennis lessons will do.

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.

if you want to "slam" the birdie on the opponent, then raise the racket up, put it back like almost like you're scratching your back, then you give it all your might, and slam. it might get a few tries at first, but once you get it, it will make a sound! and to tell you this, i'm not even in middle school yet!!!

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

First off, if you are joining at the entry level, they will teach you all the basic rules and skills that you need.  But to be a bit more specific, volleyball is a team game which can be played with 2 to 6 members on the court.  A ball is served from behind the service line (the back line of the rectangle on the floor) and the other team receives the ball.  They have three hits to get the ball back to the other side, where that team will have three hits to get the ball back over.   The goal is to hit the ball to the other side, inside the boundaries, and have it hit the floor. This is how you score a point.  \n\nThere are many techniques and hits that you will learn.  It's a lot of fun and good exercise!  Have fun and enjoy!

Just talk about tennis. Watch a match on TV or something and then ask someone is they saw that match. If they say no, fill them in. Also, if you've seen these people play and you wonder how they do a certain thing ask and praise them. Everyone loves praise!! And if worst comes to worst and they all shut you out, make sure you beat them when you play them!

Rules??? I think that every tournaments in tennis have the same rules and regulations. The only rules in wimbledon that i remember is that all players playing in the tournament are required to wear white outfits. I think its part of the tradition and prestige of the grandslam tournament.

Without having seen you play, it's a bit hard to suggest. Obviously you'll want to play to your strengths. Also, try a variety of shots in warm-up to see how he responds. I usually hit very heavy topspin...but if my opponent can't handle low slices as well then I'll hit those all day. \n\nA few things to check:\n\n1. Footwork. This is the first thing I ever watch. I'm sorry, you can hit like a cannon but I'm gonna pound winners on you all day if your feet are cemented down. If he doesn't move (and some people will disagree with me on this) then I suggest a few deep topsin balls and then a dropshot if you can do it. Basically, make him run!!! And on that note, make sure you are moving. Solid footwork can save you when you're tired. The more tired you are, the better your footwork has to be!!!\n\n2. Stroke. Of course you'll want to check which side is weaker for them.\n\n2.Serve. You'll want to decide how far back or forward to stand. If has has a very fast serve and you need time, then move back. If it's somewhat slow or has a huge kick, catch the ball early. But you always want to be moving into it on the return.\n\n2. Rally ability. Obviously if he can't hit more then 2 balls back in a row, you don't need to do anything fancy. You should figure this out early.\n\n3. Spin. Figure out how he hits!!! If he slices alot does the ball sit up? Does it skid low? What about topspin? Does he use alot or hit flat? \n\n4. Volley ability. How is he at net? If he's bad, purposely hit some short balls if you can to draw him up. I love playing people who are horrible at net.  A drop volley up close, then an easy topspin ball at their feet.\n\n\nAlso remember to go crosscourt when you can. I'm a big believer in changing the direction of the ball, but sometimes you just can't beat good low error tennis across the middle.\n\nI kinda wrote this in a rush if anyone has any additions or feels I said something wrong, I really won't be offended. Always fun to hear different viewpoints.\n\nHope this helps!

Try writing about what the benefits are of playing tennis. Also why is it good for students to play tennis in middle school. Students may also get interacted in sports other than the regular sports because not everyone can play football, basketball, etc. Try conducting a survey in your school if students agree to having tennis as a sport in middle school and what is their opinion. Hope this helps.

I feel I'm well-qualified to answer this question because I'm a nationally certified tennis instructor and have taught tennis for many years to people of all ages.\n\nAlthough group tennis lessons at some tennis clubs can begin at age 4, they amount to little more than babysitting. Children at this young age have neither the physical coordination nor mental concentration to learn a skill as physically and mentally challenging as tennis.\n\nA good age to begin tennis lessons is 8 years old, and perhaps at age 7 if the child is particularly coordinated and gifted.

No bet!\n\nENIGMA! ENIGMA! ENIGMA! ENIGMA!\n\nI now have one of your questions figured out, that I was originally wrong about, before the voting started. LOL\n\nYou asked:\n\nWhat happens in 8 ball (world standard rules)?\nYour opponent shoots at and successfully sinks one of YOUR stripes, then shoots another stripe and misses the pocket. \n\nWhat do you do? \n\nI say:\nYou shoot solids now, since he has now taken over stripes, because you failed to claim a foul when your opponent pocketed your stripe and then also shot a stripe.\n\nYeah, I know! too late.  LOLOLOLOL
