Maine Pros Meet Once Again
Some of the Maine USPTA teaching professionals along with non-member teachers met at the Maine Pines Racquet and Fitness for a night of sharing.
Two hours were spent on court where drills were explained and exchanged. Learning new drills is always a boost to your teaching and being able to participate in them is even more fun.
There were cardio tennis drills, doubles and singles strategies drills, and footwork and agility drills. After the on-court demonstrations, everyone stayed for pizza, drinks, and conversation.
