    One- handed backhand juniors

    I was searching and came across this thread because I am having this argument with my sister. She wants her daughter to hit the oh and I'm pushing for the 2h. She's from old school club level play where it was the "it" thing to have a ohbh.

    Ranking points vs More Competition?

    I'm hearing lots of chatter from parents that are saying that they are having to play their kids in more local tournaments due to the new tournament sizes

    Tough to find matches for my 14 y/o daughter..

    Not sure if any one suggested this to you but go to the USPTA site and search for pros in your area. Most have a lesser hourly fee for just hitting

    Best junior player I have ever seen!

    NOT IMPRESSED! Any kid that has half a brain and likes to play can be programmed to hit balls ... blah blah blah.... Get in trenches and play!! Play against girls that would rather hit you with an overhead than look at you... girls that will fight, spit, and cheat to win... Can she deal...

    9 years old tennis player junior kid

    You mentioned several times that the trophies are cheap. I don't think the cost of the trophy is important to the kids, most kids love to win and the fact that they are handed a trophy is very exciting to them. I hope your not saying this in front of your kids and putting a negative on their...

    Quickstart Information

    You must have had some great insight a while back when you said that the next top 10 - top 20 ranked professional American players would come from kids that didn't play alot of tournaments, weren't top of the 10's , 12's or 14's, and from private training or private academy training. I think...

    Big changes for USTA tournaments in 2011

    How are they suppose to get national points if they can't get in? I realize the local higher level tournaments offer national points but not that many. Thoughts?

    Big changes for USTA tournaments in 2011

    This is really bad. It was hard enough for the kids to try and get into these tournaments. In fact, I was hoping that the level 3 nationals would open up to a round of 64. Where did you read this?

    Should I take it easy in practice?

    Didn't take enough time reading the thread, didn't realize he was 18. Its just that some kids come on here asking legitimate questions and just get slammed by the adults practicing their "I'm going to beat up someone younger" skills. Sorry.

    Sports psychologists for juniors?

    What you have stated here doesn't appear that he needs a psychologist at all! That seems so overkill to me. Better money spent would be on better coaching or a good academy where he can get good match play. His lack of confidence in his game is from too many errors. Have a good coach look...

    Cool video Brad

    Right - I guess when all else fails he's going to pull out that ONE Eddie Herr match, I think that says it all when there's only ONE match that he can go to to try and make the point that Deiton is not a good player. For me it does the opposite. If there's only one match out of hundreds that...

    Cool video Brad

    Also - I wasn't referring to a "weekly camp etc" I meant that he attended his academy for a while. Just using the word "camp" meaning his place. ( Language differences I suppose.)

    How old is the TT Forum?

    Hey Azzurri I have been waiting for you to show up in the Junior Forum on that "Cool Video Brad" thread. Your boy TennisCoachFLA is acting up again. I just knew you would be there to put him in his place - lol. Deiton had a short video on MSN and lots of posters showed up to say...

    Cool video Brad

    And likewise - "coaches" of any caliber don't post on boards and surely don't attempt to rip up the kids. Your no better than the "talking parents" that you criticize. The "quiet" coaches have ALL of the respect. Do us a favor and take the "coach" out of your screen name. It’s quite...

    Wanted Crazy Tennis Parents!

    :) Well, don't you think that it is simply that tennis is not one of the top chosen sports or professions. I'm sure you and I and many others just LOVE tennis and think it's the best sport and past time available. I just don't think that enough agree with us. Just look at the...
