Tennis can be a difficult sport to take up because the learning curve is quite high. Beginners become frustrated quickly because they struggle to develop the necessary coordination to consistently keep balls in play.
Students interested in an introduction on how to play tennis need to have a good lesson program to keep them interested. Most often the best program for a beginning player will be a group lesson with three or more players and one instructor.
Identifying a good beginner tennis lesson from a bad one is something that most prospective students will not be able to do. There are however some things that you can look for even as an inexperienced player to quickly identify the value of a lesson program.
A group tennis lesson might range in price from around $5-$25 each lesson. The price is much lower because it is split evenly among the students in a group, which means a larger class will generally cost less. It is important though to remember that a large class can also reduce the quality of instruction that any one individual receives.
Instructors that allow the class size in a group tennis lesson to move too far above six people might not be able to provide you with enough individual attention. This is a very simple way to immediately evaluate a coach’s ability to manage and plan the structure of a group lesson.
Lessons that move quickly from one drill to the next, while keeping students active during the entire course of the instruction are the best. If possible you should try to observe a full lesson before committing to sign ups so you can observe how students interact with the instructor. Almost all good lessons will make it priority to keep everyone engaged and moving.
Learning how to play tennis can be difficult unless you find the proper help. That’s why it’s important to research the different lesson programs carefully and find the one that is right for you.
If you’re interested in learning how to play tennis don’t waste any more time. Find a set of the best group tennis lessons and become the next Roger Federer!
Solar pool covers are a great way to get heat from the sun to the swimming pool. Another name for a solar pool cover is a solar blanket. The solar pool cover acts as a barrier to keep the heat in the pool and not let it escape.
A solar pool cover floats freely on top of the water. There are no anchors or tie-downs. This makes the solar pool cover very easy to remove. A solar pool cover reel may also be used, and this will help roll up your solar pool cover easily and makes for great, clean storage. A solar pool cover can also be pulled out and folded up, but this can be a messier task. Get more information on solar pool cover reels, because these are usually the best bet for storage.
Solar pool covers are fantastic in a hot climate because the more heat they get, the longer the swim season. While the climate does not need to be warm all of the time, the blanket does need to have access to sunlight in order to trap the heat.
It is important to note that a solar pool cover is in no way a safety cover. You should remove it completely before anyone enters the pool. They are not designed for cleanliness, but they really can keep a lot of debris out of the pool.
Solar pool covers are available in many different shapes and size. They are often times round, square, oval, or even a custom design. They can be used for in-ground or above-ground pools just the same. A solar pool cover can keep your pool 10-15 degrees hotter and are much cheaper than a pool heater, which can cost hundreds of dollars a month in the summer, especially if you have a larger pool.
Rose Thomas is an expert in solar pool covers and runs a very informative and busy blog about solar pool covers. She has helped thousands of people get educated on the benefits of solar. Save time, money, and the environment. Go Green!

Do you have trouble switching from playing tennis indoors to playing tennis outdoors or changing from one environment to another? Would you like to know why you have this difficulty?
Playing tennis indoors and playing tennis outdoors are different. Most players have a tough time making the necessary adjustments. Recently I was coaching Nico, an extremely talented player who had been playing indoors for months. He then attempted to play outdoors and was a mess! Balls were flying everywhere. He had beautiful stroke mechanics indoors, but outdoors he looked clumsy and awkward…what happened? Nico still possessed the same stroke mechanics, yet he could not execute those fabulous strokes outdoors.
The way to begin playing outdoors is to wait and become familiar with the environment and slowly adjust to what the body is going through. Even without windy conditions players seem to struggle when switching from indoors to outdoors. You still possess the same stroke skills, so what gives? Why can’t you simply go out, hit a few balls to warm up, make a few adjustments and play?
For answers, let’s go to the Tennis Warrior System where I teach that the senses define a player’s stroke, not the mechanics. Sense of timing, sense of judgment, sense of balance and muscle sense. All four of these senses work together to develop a ‘feel’ for a stroke.
To the player who often plays indoors these senses are in harmony with the surrounding atmosphere, background, court surface, lighting and sounds. The subconscious has adjusted to and is set to these surroundings. Therefore the senses are automatically calculating, moment by moment, all the differences in your surroundings. All this without your even being aware of it! As you are about to hit a tennis ball, your senses determine the velocity, trajectory, depth and spin of the ball, then weigh this information against your surroundings. Amazing, isn’t it! And you thought you were just out there mechanically hitting a ball. NOT EVEN CLOSE! I repeat. NOT EVEN CLOSE! In fact the mechanics are child’s play compared to what is going on inside your body.
Can you see the problem that occurs when switching to a different environment? Whether switching from indoors to outdoors or just changing your location outdoors, you have a totally different set of surroundings. A new atmosphere, background, court surface, lighting and sounds that the senses must now respond to and adjust! The mechanics of the stroke have not gone awry. Instead your senses have been temporarily short-circuited. They are still operating, but are set for the old environment! As a result your ‘feel’ is gone and you feel clumsy and completely out of sync! Help! What should you do?
The first thing to do is come to your senses! 
DO NOT PANIC! Just relax and begin retraining the senses. But how? Here is what I told Nico. I assured him that his mechanics were just fine, but his senses were being challenged. He was supposed to just relax and let his subconscious slowly figure out how to reset his sense of timing, judgment, balance and muscle sense to the new environment. I told him to not expect the ‘feel’ to be the same outdoors as the ‘feel’ is indoors. He was to allow himself to develop a new ‘feel’ based on his new surroundings. Slowly, Nico worked himself into this new arena.
The secret is to NOT stand in the way of this process. Do not force the old senses developed from a different tennis environment onto the new tennis environment. It will not work! It will only serve to frustrate you. Do NOT expect the ‘feel’ to be the same! Be patient and your new ‘feel’ will emerge.
NOTE: The longer you play at a particular tennis location (whether indoors or outdoors) the longer it will take to adjust when you move to another tennis environment. Adjusting may even take days! Why do you think touring pros arrive at a tournament a week ahead of time to practice? They are retraining the senses. You must do the same!
