Tennis Lessons It Is!!!

 After much trial and error...Brilynn has finally found something she is passionate about.  We have tried Dance, Gymnastics, Soccer, Baseball, acting/plays,  and just about anything else you can think of.  I feel that it is very important for my girls to have something that they belong to a feel a part of.  I want them to have something that they can set goals and work towards accomplishing them and improving in something they love.  The hard part about tennis is that there is nothing really close to Syracuse. John has done some teaching with the girls but he is so busy that it's hard for him to be consistent.  We also did the summer programs through the city but that ended up being a complete waste of time and money.  Brilynn decided that she was going to do comp soccer.  We found her a team and they were really excited to have her.  Once she made the team she decided that she really didn't want to do soccer and that she was going to stick with softball.  We found a softball team for her to tryout for but they ended up making it a u12 team instead of a u10 team and she really didn't have a chance in making that team.  This forced me to look into tennis a little more for her.  After many phone calls and discussions with different people...we finally found her a coach in Bountiful.  Pati is from Peru and is an excellent tennis coach.  All of her daughters have played for the U and her youngest just got a full ride scholarship to the U for tennis.  The only downside is that it is in Bountiful and it is about a 25 minute drive each way for me.  We go on Mondays and Wednesdays.  The tennis courts are on the mountain just south of the Temple.  The views are beautiful and there is a playground for the other girls to play on.  John and I enjoy watching her improve and learning new skills and gaining confidence in herself.
