How can you improve the consistent and feel of your forehands?

Many beginners lose control of their forehand because the racquet face turns away from the target or closes too early during and after impact.

To fix this, keep your strings facing the direction you want the ball to go by imagining hitting through 1 - 2 - 3 balls 🎾

Visualizing hitting through three balls extends your hitting zone and improves control 🤞

Longer hitting zone towards your target = more accuracy and depth on every forehand 🎯

Coach Jeremy’s story with Summer Smash goes back to the very beginning in 2012. Jer was one of our first students, joining our summer camps at just 8 years old, coached directly by our Directors, Spencer and Marshall 🌱

Those early experiences in our tennis camps shaped his foundation as a player and coach. Today, Jer is one of our Head Coaches, and has worked with thousands of students across Vancouver🏆

What stands out to Coach Jeremy is how much tennis develops students beyond the court — building focus, coordination, and confidence — skills kids carry into everything else they do, and the earlier they start, the deeper the foundation 🧠

Our summer camps are built around this idea of establishing a foundation. Kids don’t just learn tennis, they build discipline, teamwork, and resilience that shows up everywhere else in their lives, both on and off the court 🔥

Full circle moments like this are exactly why we strive for, and why we do what we do ❤️

How should higher level players deal with shorter balls?

A short ball hit close to or inside the service line is your chance to attack ☄️

Many intermediate players wait too long on these shots, letting the ball drop low before making impact. By then, you’re forced to lift the ball, taking away your leverage and power.

🔑 The fix: attack the short ball while it’s still around shoulder height, with a shoulder to shoulder swing.

Earlier and higher contact = more pace, more control, and more winners 🎯

🎾 Tennis Tip Tuesday Pt. 3: Featuring Coach Barbora💡

How can you improve your serve using your tossing arm? 👇

Many players drop their non-dominant hand too early during the toss, collapsing it before the racquet reaches the optimum point of contact. That early collapse pulls your body and racquet path down, sending your serve into the net.

To fix this, keep your non-dominant hand up and extended for as long as you can before impact 🙌

The longer that hand stays up, the more your body stays upward through contact.

Hand stays high = your point of contact stays high = your serve clears the net with room to spare 🎯
