Wii Sports/Tennis Training

Returning Balls
A computer-controlled player is on the other side of the net, serving and tossing tennis balls at you. You job is to hit the ball so that it goes over the net and hits inside the tennis court. Failure to get the ball over the net or the ball bounces out of bounds before hitting the tennis court results in quitting the mini-game.

Do not worry about where you are. The person moves towards every ball served, so focus on the ball rather than on you. Also, do not focus on where the ball goes after you hit it. Hit the ball at the right time to make the ball go straight. After ten serves, you move closer to the net, which means you must be quick to hit the balls that go over the net. Once you've hit five balls up close, then you go back and hit ten more at a regular distance. The pattern repeats itself every 15 serves. As you get to the harder parts of the game, the server speeds up and tosses more at you than ever before; one miss and you must start over.

Timing Your Swing
Like before, a computer controlled player will toss the balls at you and you must hit the ball so that it goes over the net. But there is a catch now. Not only must the balls go over the net, but they also have to go through a special orange place as well. If you miss the orange place or it doesn't go over the net, you're finished. As you progress, the orange place you must get the balls through will get smaller and smaller.

Timing your swing is very important now. If you're right-handed, the balls will come at you at the right side. If you hit the ball early, it will travel closer to the left side of the court. Hitting it late will make the ball go towards the right. If you're left-handed, everything mentioned above will be opposite.

Target Practice
This is very tough and it shouldn't last very long. Targets will appear on the wall and your goal is to break the targets with the ball. You only get one ball. You begin by serving the ball and breaking the first target. But the wall is not indestructible! If you hit the same place with the ball multiple times, that part will turn darker until a hole appears. You lose if you miss the ball or it goes through or past the wall.

If you do the same tricks on "Timing your Swing," you should do okay. You shouldn't be swinging too early or too late or you won't be able to run to the ball fast enough! You also shouldn't stay in one place either. You should volley the ball off the wall and strike the target. As you progress, the targets will move from one side to the other which can be tough if you damaged the wall already.
