Cheers to another great year of Junior Open 🎾🏆💕
This year was a rollercoaster🎢 as we went from being a Covid-free community, to having so many kids waking up with an LFT test on daily basics😞 As a coach I hear a lot of Covid talk and how annoyed my 10 year old students are with the testing,sad that their friend is in isolation or worried about a family member…But today they came together to compete and have fun 🎾And it was so nice to hear them talk about trophies 🏆 rather then Covid💕 As it should be. Tennis is the best sport for social-distancing and I am so glad we are able to safely have the kids participating and enjoying the game even in the tougher times🙏

When coach watches your match it can be a bit intimidating…Especially when coach is Panda 🐼Very strict. 🎾

Fun little leg burner 🔥Those are all good stand alone exercises or in a combo with a little music!
If you are a person who hates doing core workouts try these Tik Tok challenges..It takes forever to get it right so turns out to be a great workout! Arms are super sore after this one!

The video is sped up to be less boring so here is the workout breakdown.It should take you about 45min-1 hour to complete. If you want less intensity- do less sets or reduce each set from 1 min to 30 seconds.
1.Jump rope -5 min
2.High knees, jumping jacks, fast feet -1 min each repeat the circuit 3 times
3. Cones footwork 3 sets X 1 minute
4. Cones with shadows- 3 sets X 1 minute

7. Forward & backwards sprints with the racquet and balls 3 sets X 1 minute
8. Shuffle with ball placement 3 sets X 1 minute
9. The touch volleys. Ask a partner to throw the ball to you, they do not need a racquet. Using continental grip gently tap the ball up and volley it back to your partner's hands. Do as many as you like-this one is fun1
10. Reaction drill-catch the ball. This one can be done with or without a bounce before the catch. ask your partner to throw the ball and make it challenging for you to catch!

Check out a great way to practice your topspin at home-demonstrated by Coach Ilian! Find the full video on page!
Try this fun while you are stuck at home! It is fun and you can do it together with your quarantine buddies. Strong core is very important for a tennis player so use this time to get better and stronger! 💪
Now that we are on soft curfew and can exercise outside...Found that you can do these uphill mini sprints while running away from the wave 🌊 Fun but also hard because the sand is soft and really gets your muscles working! Make sure to use the beach responsibly-stay away from people and make it a quick workout and back to 🌊💪
One of the best cardio activities when you only have a small space available- the good old jump rope! Perfect for keeping in shape during the lockdown. If you don’t have an outdoor space or a jump rope you can do the same jumps with “invisible” rope. 😁💪Stay active guys! Fingers crossed we can get back to beach workouts so soon! 🏝
Lockdown in Cayman day 1...What does a tennis 🎾 coach do...Tennis things! 🤣🧻🎾 Try it guys-hilarious and gets you moving!
Make your own serve doctor- good to work on your service motion swing. Need- a long sock and 2 tennis 🎾 balls- ✔️ You can do this at home-just don’t wreck the ceiling 🤣
Fun coordination challenge-try it at home and let me know how many you got!
Since no tennis and no Junior Open for some time...Try this to stay active! We got this!

Unfortunately we have to cancel the Junior Open on March 15...We all have to do our part to prevent the spread of coronavirus and while we are disappointed that the event has to be cancelled-we are hopeful that Cayman will be back to normal very soon❤️ The next one is scheduled for May 3. We will keep fingers crossed that the situation in the world will improve and that we will see you all on May 3 to celebrate 🎉 🎾
Stay safe🙏
With Love,
CITC Junior Open Team
