Do you read manga novels?

Also, I seem to recall that you play tennis (I hope I have recalled that correctly) and as I have played tennis since I was little and had been on a tennis court for the majority of my life (mum is a tennis coach, hence the reason why), I was wondering what your ATP rating is; that is if you do have one?

Saft: No I'm not an official pro

i don't have a ranking. I teach tennis to younger kids in the Milwaukee area, right now I'm teaching at 3 different schools. I bet you're pretty good at tennis, thanks to your mom. As for manga.. not really, I prefer the anime films..

Oh you teach tennis? What sort of drills do you do with the kids?

Nick22 · **Reply #165 on:** May 15, 2011, 10:50:14 PM

well we do drills with ballas(bouncing them up and down against the rcquet) and then we work on the ground strokes..(forehand and backhand)

Do you ever play King/Queen of the court?
It is like a round robin. You get two players (if playing doubles) to go on the opposite side of the court and then line up the other players who will have a short rally until either they miss the ball or the 'king(s)' or 'queen(s)' miss. Then they becoming king/queen.

It was great fun to play and even greater to help teach (mum allows my sister and I to help on occasion if she needs it).

Nick22 · **Reply #167 on:** May 16, 2011, 01:19:04 AM

yes i do, and the kids love it. sometimes we play it with doubles, gets more kids involved. what i normally do is have the challengers win 2 points beforing dethrioning the king/quueen. they miss a shot the next group comes in and rotates.

In what way did you become an admin?

Nick22 · **Reply #169 on:** May 16, 2011, 09:09:16 AM

Well I earned Petries trust, to put it simply. I had run a old board of his called Welcome to the Great valley (note to everyone- the GOF is a rare success story, unless you get a good number of dedicated posters, boards usually don't last long) and joined here in late 2004. it wasn't until an an unfortunate encounter with spammers that i was made a mod and then an admin.
