First Tennis Lesson













It just so happens that the seller, Shawn, of our soon-to-be house was the tennis pro at Cypress Hills here in G'ville.

When signing the contract, he invited the boys to participate in his last night to teach tennis lessons to their age group. He was even so kind to let them participate for FREE! So we definitely took advantage of it. Furthermore, it was so cold that evening, they boys ended up with a private lesson due to no other participants.


I wish I had known about him before they moved. He offered lessons 2 nights a week for 1 hour at only $5.00 per child. I hope the next Pro they hire offers the same. There is no commitment nor registration fees. You just show up, pay then play. I like this arrangement as you don't have to commit which allows room for flexibility due to weather conditions, illness, or prior engagements.

The boys loved it. It was their first time to actually participate in an organized sporting event. And Shawn was really good with them. Within the only hour of lesson, they boys never grew disinterested. I hope this a good sign to come. JB and I agree that we would like for the boys to try tennis at some point. And with such an arrangement, it might be even more possible.

Sissy really liked tennis and now Boomer wants to play. I hope to get some lessons for them in the spring. Looks like fun.
