At 7:30 in the morning, Xia Minmin and Tang Meng were already at the tennis court playing skateboarding.

"Xiaomin, see, I told you I was right. Isn't this a perfect place to skateboard? Can you teach me how to go up and down the steps with the board? I often get stuck on these two moves."

"Okay, you'll learn from me."

Xia Minmin led Tang Meng through the exercise again and again until Tang Meng gradually mastered the technique, and Xia Minmin's movements became more and more skillful.

When Coach Yang, who teaches tennis, came to the training ground, he saw two girls riding skateboards, skillfully performing various moves.

Especially the younger girls, their lower body strength is particularly stable, which should be because they exercise regularly.

When Xia Minmin saw the coach standing at the entrance of the tennis court, she quickly stopped and greeted him, "Coach Yang, good morning!"

"Coach Yang, good morning."

Coach Yang put down the sports bag and cardboard box. "Good morning, why are you here so early?"

"Coach, let's come practice skateboarding!"

"Did you learn to skateboard at the Children's Palace?"

"Yes, yesterday was the first day of class."

"You guys are really amazing to be able to skate so well after only one morning of learning! Do you guys exercise regularly?"

"Coach, are you planning to learn Sanda? We'll be learning Sanda for two hours every evening from Monday to Friday."

"Oh, I see. No wonder your core and lower body strength are so stable. This will also help you in tennis class. You need to study really hard in class from now on. I will have higher expectations for you."

"Understood, Coach."

Two other classmates who attended the class together also came.

"Hello, Coach."

Coach Yang started the class once everyone had arrived.

"Students whose names I call, come up and get your tennis rackets and balls."

Coach Yang's tennis rackets and balls are all packaged together, with his name affixed to them for easy identification.

"Xia Minmin".

"Tang Meng".

…

After receiving the tennis racket and ball, the first thing everyone did was take out the tennis racket and juggle the ball, just like juggling a ping-pong ball or a badminton shuttlecock.

"Very good, remember this feeling. You need to juggle the ball at home every day to get used to the feel for it. I'll lead you through some warm-up exercises first, and then I'll teach you how to dribble and juggle the ball. This is also the focus of our first four lessons."

After Coach Yang led everyone in a 20-minute warm-up, he took out his tennis racket and ball.

"Dribble, hold the racket handle, place the ball on the racket, and we'll walk around the tennis court five times. If we drop the ball, we'll add one more lap."

Coach Yang stood in the middle of the tennis court, his eyes fixed on the students dribbling the ball like a hawk.

thump thump thump…

Someone dropped the ball!

Xia Minmin listened carefully and realized it wasn't Tang Meng standing behind her.

"If the ball falls, automatically add one lap."

The tennis court didn't look very big, but it was still quite difficult to hold the racket and keep the ball from falling. Of the four people today, only Xia Minmin's racket was a little lighter; the others' rackets were not light.

Xia Minmin was the first to complete five laps without dropping the ball.

"Those who dropped the ball need to practice hard when they get home. Except for Xia Minmin, who will rest, Tang Meng will do an extra lap, and the two of you will do an extra lap. You can practice extra during breaks. Take a ten-minute break and have some water."

Tang Meng took a sip of water. "Xiao Min, I'm so envious that you don't have to do extra practice."

Xia Minmin immediately suggested, "Why don't you try wearing sandbags on your wrists regularly and see how it goes?"

The other two classmates looked at Xia Minmin and asked, "Is your hand so steady because you're tying sandbags?"

"I don't know either. I usually have a habit of wearing sandbags on my wrists and ankles."

Coach Yang overheard their conversation and came over. "Xia Minmin has received long-term training, so wearing sandbags is nothing for her. This method is not suitable for beginners and is prone to injury. Tang Meng, you can try it."

"Understood, Coach!"

After Coach Yang walked away, he said, "What are your names? My name is Lu Xi, and his name is Lu Dong. We are cousins."

Xia Minmin and Tang Meng introduced themselves.

Lu Xi asked, "Are you two friends? What else have you studied?"

Tang Meng: "We practice Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) every Monday to Friday evening."

Lu Dong: "Aren't you tired? What about your homework?"

Xia Minmin: "It's alright, I finished all my homework during break."

Lu Dong stared at the skateboard and said, "You guys have so much energy! Is this skateboard yours?"

Xia Minmin and Tang Meng nodded.

Lu Dong said, "Can you teach us? My sister and I wanted to sign up for skateboarding yesterday, but our family didn't agree."

"sure!"

When Coach Yang returned, the two siblings, Lu Xi and Lu Dong, still looked like they hadn't had enough.

"Class is starting! I'm going to teach you how to juggle a ball now. Pay close attention to my movements."

Xia Minmin and the others quickly picked up their tennis rackets and balls.

"First: Forehand juggling. Pay attention to my hand movements. Follow along and learn."

"Second: juggling the ball with both forehand and backhand."

"Third: Forehand juggling, make sure to catch the ball after it lands. Watch my movements carefully."

"Fourth: Backhand juggling and landing the ball, which is similar to the third move, just with the difference between forehand and backhand."

"Everyone practice separately first, and try to juggle the ball as many times as possible."

It's actually quite interesting; by the time school was over, Xia Minmin could juggle a ball over two hundred times without it falling off.

"get out of class dismissed! See you the day after tomorrow."

Xia Minmin and Tang Meng stuffed their tennis rackets and balls into their sports bags, took out their hats and clothes, put on their skateboard shoes, and prepared to leave on their skateboards.

Lu Xi asked, "Aren't you two hot? Why are you wearing so much?"

Tang Meng shrugged, "There's nothing we can do. We wanted to skateboard home, but we didn't want to get tanned, so this is the only option."

You guys are awesome!
