How To Execute The High Volley Approach Shot
By USPTA/PTR Master Professional Fernando Velasco
TENNISTIPS
Look in the next Newsletter for: The One Hand Backhand Volley Approach Shot
In previous newsletters, I offered tips on how to hit a forehand groundstroke, a two-handed backhand, one-handed backhand, forehand volley, the two handed backhand volley, the serve, the forehand half-volley, the one-handed backhand volley, the overhead “smash”, the forehand service return and the backhand service return.
In this issue, I will offer you instructions on how to execute the forehand high approach shot. This shot is used when a player is caught in “no-person’s land” (around the service line area) and receives a high ball to volley. The important part of this shot is to be able to hit a deep volley to the feet of the opponents and/or to hit a deep volley close to the baseline, so the opponent is put in a defensive mode and hits a softer ball so the player can now move closer to the net for the “killer or placement volley”. In the illustrations, Kathy Smith, a player at the Grey Rock Tennis Club, shows the proper technique to execute this stroke. Photos by Charlie Palafox.
Step 1: The Ready Position and Split Step: When Kathy realizes that she is caught in “no-person’s land”, she takes the split step by bending the knees and staying on her toes. Her racket is in the volley position and her feet are angled toward the path of the incoming ball.
Step 2: The Back Swing: Once Kathy realizes that the ball has been directed to her forehand, she will turn her upper body and will take the racket slightly back. Notice that the left hand is up in front to allow her to keep her center of gravity in the center. She has loaded her weight on her right foot and will be ready to step forward to meet the ball.
Step 3: The Point of Contact: Kathy now is ready to step into the ball. She has kept her eye on the ball and her center of gravity now is shifted to the point of contact. Notice the left toe pointing to the ball meeting the racket. The face of the racket is open to allow her to hit behind the ball and allow maximum net height and allow her to hit the ball deep.
Step 4: The Follow Through: Once Kathy has made contact with the ball, she finishes the follow through with her wrist laid back. Her left arm is next to her body and her eyes have shifted toward her target.
Step 5: The Move for the Kill Volley: As the ball is headed toward her opponent and Kathy realizes that her shot it deep, now she moves close to the net for the put away volley. If her shot was not deep, Kathy will decide to stay close to the service line to protect the lob over her head. By the look in her eyes and her smile, she is ready to go for the “kill volley”.

Quality Of Meals Should Not Change During Summer
Students shouldn't close the door on healthy eating habits during the summer, says a Baylor College of Medicine pediatrician.
"Certainly it is just as important to eat healthy over the summer as it is any other time of the year," said Dr. Teresia O'Connor, assistantprofessorofpediatrics–nutritionatBCM.
She offers the following tips for health summer eating:• Incorporate fruits and vegetables in all meals.• A healthy summer lunch should include a fruit, a vegetable,
some form of protein and whole grains.• Don¹t skip breakfast.• Eat three meals a day with one to two snacks. • Stay hydrated - water is the best and healthiest way to • stay hydrated.• Be aware of how much sugar is in beverages. While it's okay
to drink a small amount of these beverages, primary drinks should be water and low-fat or skim milk.
Encourage children and teens to help prepare their own meals so they become responsible for their own healthy eating.
