     Today we had tennis camp as usual, but unlike the first week, which we had 16 kids, we only have 8 kids this session!!  There are 2 girls and 6 boys. We have all the same coaches except Coach Sarah. We also have a new coach. His name is Coach Kenny.When one of our coaches, Coach Alex, was a kid, Coach Kenny was one of the best players in the nation!!!I found that very cool and wondered how high he is ranked right now.

     When we first came we did stretches and some warm ups. Then we did a relay race!! Izzy and I were on different teams and Izzy's team won once and my team won once.We got some water and then started hitting. Izzy and I actually basically got our own private lesson with Coach Kenny!!! We went on one court and everyone else on a different court. First we did a rally and we tried to do 15 hits in a row to each other but the longest we got was 12 hits back and forth.  Then we did some forehand and backhand drills and then it was our 20 minuet break. First we go to the park for 15 minuets and then eat our snack in 5 minuets while doing trivia for starburst. After our snack we play tennis games. Today we learned a new game, too!! It is called tornado and here is how to play. First you make a line. There is one coach feeding and one coach catching. The feeder can catch it also. If one of the coaches catches it or it goes out of the court it is one strike. Three strikes and you run around he court with coaches throwing the ball at you and if you get hit you are out. When you are out your job is to throw balls at the people to. The last one standing wins. We played one game of that and then went home and had more fun adventures.
