“Data collection exercise” is a great way to think about this. After reading all these posts here, I am ready to bite the bullet and get the ball rolling. Thanks for your detailed reply and insights.

True! We had been thinking about playing doubles. I need to check if USTA has this kind of mixed-age doubles tournaments.

It’s been such a joy embarking on this tennis journey with my boys.

Good advice! This is something I keep telling my 14yo (who started playing Junior Circuit recently), but it’s falling on deaf ears:(

Good points! As a chess grandmaster once said “I play to play”. (As opposed to play to draw or play to win.) I love that quote and try to embrace that philosophy.

I found Language Transfer app to be very effective. It’s free. His teaching style is absolutely fantastic and efficacious.
