Tennis Camp At ETHS!!!

Tennis  Camp At ETHS!!!

    Today we had tennis camp at Evanston Township High School(ETHS) where my mom and my aunt went to school. We went there because it was raining and we couldn't use the courts at Lovelace because they we wet.  We ended up going to ETHS. At first I was surprised about how big it was because it looked more like a college campus. Right now there are about 4000 kids there and according to Izzy they have 24 gyms!!! I was also surprised when we walked down the hall because of how many trophies there were. I didn't get to see all of the school though because we had to get to the gym for tennis camp and some places were under construction. 
      Across the gym there is a field house where there are tennis courts but the all day tennis camp was using them. The courts looked really nice. But we had to use the gym, sadly.When we first came in we there was only one coach(Coach Alex) and a few other kids. We were waiting for the other coaches to come with the balls and in the meantime we did a lot of stretches. 
     When the coaches came we did some free hitting while the coaches set up and decided what we were going to do first.They decided we were going to do doubles champ of the court. In champ of the court singles there is one person on one side of the net and a line of people on the other side. You get three balls and have to get a point on all of them and then you're on the other side if you get three points.  Once you're on the other side you can not let the other person get three points or you're back in line and the other person is where you were. We did that but just in doubles and my partner was Izzy and we won a few times. We played that until snack break and during snack break Coach Alex and Coach Kenny played each other. Coach Kenny ended up winning. I was rooting for Coach Alex, though.
     After our snack break we just did free hitting until camp was over and Momo picked us up. And that was tennis camp in ETHS.
