On September 21, 2021, four members of the AYLUS RC Branch gathered at the tennis courts in Day Creek Park, a small park near our homes, to practice tennis. All four of us are tennis enthusiasts who had already purchased our own rackets. Since our skill levels are all at the beginner stage, we quickly agreed to start regular practices in our free time, with the hope of steadily improving our abilities and developing this sport as a long-term hobby.
This was our very first practice session. As newcomers, we were not familiar with the process of reserving courts, which caused some delays. In the end, we only managed to secure one court for all four of us. We mainly practiced serving techniques, and although much of the time was spent on preparation and figuring things out, we were excited to finally rally a few shots back and forth. The energy and joy we felt on the court made the effort worthwhile, and we are looking forward to our next practice.
Each participant dedicated three hours to this activity. The names of the four members are as follows:
- Ryan Kan
- Qingxiao Hu
- Emily Tang
- Zhiman Li
