Introduction










Tennis is a fun and competitive sport that welcomes all ages and skill levels. Although tennis is fairly easy to play, it is a complicated and difficult sport to understand from a Physics perspective.

  My Experience










I started playing tennis the summer before freshman year of high school. I played all four years at Lathrop High School and placed fourth at the Alaska State Championships my senior year. After graduating in the spring of 2015 I was asked to come back and coach in the fall of 2016. That year our girls doubles team won a State Championship.

The goal of this website is to briefly summarize some of the Physics of tennis. I will cover some tennis history, the different court surfaces of tennis, tennis equipment, and the three types of tennis shots.
