Chloe's Tennis Lessons!

Chloe started tennis lessons at Twin Rivers with Coach Mike Williamson.  He does a really good job with young kids just learning to hit a ball.  Chloe loved her first lesson, and she is ready to do it again.

 First step was catching and tossing the ball back and forth.

 Next step was hitting the ball with the racket at short distance.

 This is the ball they use at first.  It is a large foam ball.

 Ella got in on the action too!

 Suckers!
