Attention coaches: USPTA Master Pro Jorge Capestany, a frequent speaker at the Indiana and Midwest Tennis Conventions, has produced an excellent new website for tennis drills.  The site is called www.tennisdrills.tv and it offers free samples to preview.  The drills are shown on videos and also are diagrammed and explained wonderfully in easy-to-print format. Check it out when you have time.  It is a project that Capestany has been working on and thinking about for several years, and the product is outstanding!

SPORTSMANSHIP CREED FOR
INDIANA HIGH SCHOOL TENNIS

This statement on sportsmanship is endorsed by the Indiana High School Tennis Coaches Association and its Board of Directors.  Coaches are invited to use this creed to help educate players and fans on the importance of sportsmanship.  Coaches may want to print copies and distribute at team organizational meetings and/or may want to have each team member sign a copy and pledge to uphold the basic tenets of sportsmanship.  This statement is not a rule to be enforced by the IHSTeCA, but rather it is a good-faith creed designed to promote sportsmanship for high school tennis in Indiana.
