This is where we are at. We just want to introduce her to things and if she likes it, we will invest more time and money into it.
With the tennis lessons through the community center, that is the whole reason why that program exists, but then you have parents taking it really serious. My kid was out there trying to play and socialize with the other kids, but the helicopter parents would be screaming at their kids to focus and not talk to the other kids. It was really kind of sad and pathetic. These are basically teenagers employed by the city to teach the kids some basics, not some professional tennis coaches that you pay a lot of money for.
