It's sport week in the Netherlands and a lot of clubs do a thing where they let kids try out their sport for free or a small fee to see if they want to join. They get to do 3 lessons to see if they like it. Last year, A tried golf, and he really liked it, but it wasn't in our town and in order for the kid to play, one of the parents had to join the club and play, too. Since I don't have a drivers license yet, I couldn't take him, and M had no desire to play golf. But, A's physical therapist said he'd benefit a lot from a sport, and he recommended a sport that's individual, but with other kids...so like golf or tennis. Something where there's still interaction and a team aspect without all relying on each other, only on yourself. So yesterday A had a tennis lesson. He seemed to really enjoy it, the teacher said he did well for a first time. He has a nice strong stroke, and he takes direction well. He got the backhand right away, even after she warned him that backhands were tricky and that the kids who had been doing it for more than a year still had problems with it, so not to worry if he couldn't do it.
My pictures aren't great because I was standing outside the fence, and he was on the opposite side of the court, but better than nothing.
