Tennis
My dad's making me start tennis this summer, and i don't really have a choice, so, ya. Anyway, I'm pretty athletic, I play soccer, volleyball, basketball, and I take a dance class once a week. So do you have any tips on some basic things for tennis? Like anything. I don't want to look like a retard when I go to the camp thing.
Thanks!
P.S. Does anyone know if they care if i wear earrings? thanks!

well, starting a new sport is a good thing. if its your first time playing tennis, then you should know nothing, just the basic things. they don't care if you wear earrings. the basic thing is that you want the ball to go over the net, what a backhand and forehand swing is, and practice swinging. good luck, and have fun!

Hm,if your athletic,then your in good shape beacuse tennis is 40%athletics and 60% skill,the simple fact is that every new player will look stupid but the bright side is,tennis is a prime example of practice makes perfect.Dont try to start out knocking the daylights out of the ball,when your starting out just focus on getting the ball over and ur accuracy beafore you advance into all that,just work on returning and soft serve ,volleying,its all good,then after you get all of that pretty well rounded then you can start hitting the ball hard and then you will be an exceptional player,just practice,ALOT.And jewlery,earings dont really matter,most jewlery doesnt really matter actualy,just bracelets can get in the way sometimes.

I remember I was five when my parents made me play tennis, but when you first start off, it's really frustrating because you think you are going to hit the ball and you don't. I was very impatient.
- bend your knees when you hit the ball
- make sure your racquet starts down and swing up
- when you hit with your backhand, try to makesure your right foot is forward
- when your hiting your forehand make sure your left foot is forward.
- I wouldn't recommend wearing earings, unless they are studs
- I know thats alot, but some of the stuff I just told you, you won't learn for months, but I can guarantee you will learn the 2nd point the first day you get there
- good luck

And also, you should really try to talk to your dad if you really don't want to, it sounds like you don't.
And earrings I'm not sure, it probably depends on who you're playing with/where you're playing. Some people care, some people say its your own fault if they get in the way. Good luck, hope I helped.
