Last Wednesday, Camões House, Moon Chun Memorial College of University of Macau, organised a tennis workshop. Although the weather in the morning was less than ideal, however, the sunny afternoon was perfect for outdoor activities.

After warming up, students gathered to learn some basic skills. Those with previous tennis experience shared tips with their peers on improving their serving and hitting accuracy. Students then split into pairs and practiced on two separate courts. While initially struggling with serving and rallying, the assistant provided timely guidance for them to overcome the challenges. Students also helped each other, whilst improving their serves and techniques, even engaging in a few rounds of rallies.

Through this experiential activity, students were truly able to experience a sense of achievement that comes with “learning and achieving.” With continuous improvement and practice, they gained a great deal of confidence and motivation. Additionally, they learned how to collaborate with others and overcome difficulties and challenges. Such valuable experiences and lessons will have a profound impact on the students’ future growth.
