When discussing sports that he wanted to play this year, Isaiah informed me he wanted to play tennis. When I seemed surprised, he stated he "was awesome" when he played on the Wii so he thought he should play since he was so good. :) I did try to tell him it wasn't quite as easy as when playing the Wii since there was an "error factor" built in (but of course, what does mom know?!?!?).
Anyway...I looked around, having NO idea where to start and not wanting to pay mucho bucks for private lessons. We found a week-long tennis camp at a local high school so he went every day last week for 1 1/2 hours. Luckily, he is naturally athletic and he did well for never having picked up a real raquet. After all is said and done, I'm not sure he wants to keep learning because it was "sooo hard (don't forget the whine)." How do you convince this age that they have to learn the basic skills before they are "pros"? Oh well...made for some good pics and maybe he will want to continue it!
