Tennis Serve Grip and Motion Guide for Beginners
A primer on Eastern Forehand grip and Continental variations, ball toss timing, stance, and racket path. Instructions cover forming a V with thumb and forefinger, aiming the vee along the racket ridge, proper arc, and the back-scratch throw from the right ear with a slow takeback to build speed.
Changes necessary for successful VHS programs
Venice High must appoint a basketball focused coach and move to year round play. The program has lacked coaching, talent and year round practice, with past leaders averaging 181-274 and only six winning seasons in 19 years. Wrestling mirrors these issues as both seasons demand year round commitment and stronger eligibility efforts.
