Question: How can spin give you an advantage in a game? Answer: Use topspin if you need to hit the ball FASTER and backspin if you need to hit the ball SLOWER.

HONESTY is when you speak the truth and act truthfully! In tennis you must be honest when you call if the ball was in or out. Can your child share two ways he or she has been honest in sports?

If this was fun and valuable, we encourage you to share with your friends and neighbors.
