    Hey Aaron - thanks for your email/comment. Starting up is the hardest part! It's amazing when you first start how hard it is to even get going so do yourself a favor and set yourself up with other beginners and a teacher that specializes in this. This is what I would do: Enroll in a class for like $60 at LACC (Los Angeles City College) - it's in their Community Services section. There you will learn the basics and get some practice in. And don't think I think I'm such a bad-ass that I can't be bothered. In fact, I will probably be enrolling myself in one of the intermediate classes so maybe I will meet you out there.

    Once you feel you are volleying pretty good, try me again! It'd be nice to have some tennis buddies in the hood!
