Learning Outcomes
Understand the fundamental stages of a simple tennis serve (stance, toss, contact, follow-through).
Articulate why each stage of the serve is important for consistency and accuracy (e.g., why the toss is crucial for proper contact).

Adopt and maintain a correct ready stance for serving, including proper foot placement behind the baseline.
Consistently toss the ball to an appropriate height and position for making contact.
Demonstrate a simplified, fluid serving motion, including a basic backswing, upward racket path, and forward swing.
Consistently make contact with the ball in the desired hitting zone (at the top of the toss).
