Doug Kegerreis: Hi! I'm Doug Kegerreis, President of Chantilly International Tennis in Fairfax, Virginia. Today, we're at the Penderbrook Community and we are shooting a video to help you learn how to play this great game of tennis. I am US PTA Certified Tennis Professional, and I've been teaching this great game for 28 years, and it is a terrific game. After 28 years, I'm sold on it and I think it's the greatest game to play.
Great exercise, it stimulates both your body and your mind with all the strategy that is involved in the game. The key, in my opinion, is that you learn how to play properly and that is why I am here to help you with that information.
What you'll learn in this video today will be the basics of tennis. How to hit a forehand and a backhand? How to hit a volley? Which is the shot directly out of the air? of course, you cant play a real game of tennis without learning how to hit a serve, and I'll show you a very easy way to learn how to do that.
It's not a difficult game to play; it does not cost a lot of money to play. You go to public tennis courts -- most high schools have courts. All you need is a racquet, a can of balls, a pair of tennis shoes, and you're good to go.
So, come on with me, and we're going to learn how to play this great game of tennis.
