Custom Design T-Shirts Made Easy

Get the Perfect Results

When an occasion calls for a custom designed t-shirt, it’s easy to get started. The very first step is to make a decision on what type of shirt you want. There are a number of customisable clothing options, so all you need to do is find the right shirt for your project. Basically, the options are not just the material, but the style of shirt. It’s easy for a small order for a sports team or office party. Perhaps only one style of shirt is needed, adding only small to large in sizes.

If the custom t-shirts are for a larger occasion, perhaps a wider variety will be wanted. This is when to decide on men’s or women’s style shirts, tank tops or hoodies, crew necks or v-necks in shirt styles. Perhaps a wider choice of sizes is called for. There are a number of options, and all that is needed is a creative flair and a few ideas to share with a printer to get the project done to the utmost perfection.

Choosing a Design

You may already have the design in mind. Perhaps a picture or logo will be needed. If you have the idea, but not the actual design, printers can help solidify your end result. Also, focus on the type of font or letter size to make the t-shirt easy to read. Every detail that you share with a printer contributes to the final product.

You can even upload a photo or give a printed copy to the t-shirt shop to personalise to your heart’s delight. Every contribution you make will help to find the right t-shirt for your project. Whether it is a big project or a small one, the point is that you are trying to find the right results. With personalisation of pictures or logos, in the long run, the t-shirt will be yours and yours alone.

Bring Your Design to Life

Taking the step to create just the right t-shirt for your occasion is easy when you complete your custom t-shirt. Whether it is for a one-time situation, or whether it is for a huge event, a custom designed t-shirt should be fun to make, and fun to wear. Deciding on what result you need is the biggest step to take.

Your choices are important and will make the difference in the final product. Once you have added all the steps together, the end result will be your own custom t-shirt that shows exactly what you are trying to say. Whether using a logo or personal design or picture, the end result is simply this: It’s your t-shirt and it’s your creativity that brings the t-shirt to life!

How I learnt to play tennis

Tennis is bad!

I started the sport by playing football at the age of 7 and at the time (in the 1980s) tennis was still a pretty closed sport, with fairly expensive club fees, snowshoes also quite expensive and clubs where sometimes you had to play compulsively dressed in white!

I tried to play tennis but I found this sport very difficult and I did not have enough fun.

At the time, I remember very well that I hated tennis!

It must also be said that when I made my first tests with tennis, it was with an adult size racket and it does not help to take pleasure in playing.

There are now wide ranges of  snowshoes for children , with size ranges that allow children to have snowshoes adapted to their morphology.

When I tried to play, I placed myself directly at the bottom of the field, which is much too complicated for a child who starts, more reason not to hang with tennis!

We do not necessarily realize when we are adult but a tennis court is huge for a child!

Football was a much easier sport for me to tackle, where it was easier to have fun quickly without going through a technical learning phase.

I advise those who have a great need to be physically active trying another sport if they experience too much frustration playing tennis.

For children who love tennis but do not spend enough time playing, it can be interesting to make them practice a second activity in which they romp more easily.

As for the financial cost, tennis is now a sport that has become democratized, there are many small clubs with relatively affordable fees.

The price of the equipment has also changed and we can find good snowshoes to start at reasonable prices.

Football, I’m tired!

At 11, I started to lose my taste for football, I felt that I needed a more individual sport, in which I was solely responsible for the victories and defeats.

This is an important aspect of tennis: it’s an individual sport. It is sometimes complicated because you can not rely on anyone during difficult times but it is also rewarding because we are alone at the controls, victory and progress come back to us alone. It is also an opportunity to develop his fighting spirit because in case of difficulty, you have to get by on your own.

Even if there are team matches, tennis remains an individual sport and this aspect will be displeasing to those who really enjoy playing in a team.

In parallel with football, I occasionally played tennis with my uncle, who has never competed and had a level early in the third series.

We played mostly against a wall and very rarely on a lot because I was unable to do a lot of exchanges and it was a little discouraging.

The wall is excellent to progress when you start, it allows to have balls easy enough to play and hit a lot of balls which is essential to progress, I recommend it!

My uncle gave me the technical basis he had learned during the few lessons he had taken, very basic advice but that was enough for me to start having fun.

I then played with a few friends, did a week-long internship in the summer and then decided to stop football and register for a club at the next school year, where I joined a development group.

It shows that it is not essential to go through the tennis school to acquire technical bases since I arrived in club already knowing how to play in a completely correct way.

However, I advise all beginners to take classes in a club with a state-certified tennis instructor.

Even if I was able to return the ball correctly, if I continued to play without taking lessons, I would have accumulated technical defects that would have limited my progress.

As for football, this sport has been an excellent preparation for tennis because it allowed me to develop my physical qualities and the qualities of travel that are essential to tennis.

Football is great for the footwork!

Fast progress

Followed a period where I progressed very quickly; I started the tournaments at age 13, in my age category and in the adult category simultaneously.

I started the competition when I felt ready and that’s what I advise everyone, no need to hurry!

Competing without being ready or having big weaknesses may be discouraging.

At the end of my first year of competition, at 14, I was 30/1. The following year, 15/4, then 15/1 then 5/6 to 17 years, which is a fairly rapid progression.

I made a good progression but my level of play at 17 years was nothing extraordinary.

To give an idea, the best players of 17 years have a negative ranking (-2/6, -4/6, -15, -30), even first series, I was still quite far.

However, experience has also shown that we can achieve a very good level when we did not have the required level at a given age.

I knew a player who had been told by a regional technical advisor that he would not go far in tennis and finally he was -30 and ranked at ATP.

It shows that with a good self-confidence and with work, we can very well get there, we must believe in ourselves and not be discouraged by external opinions!

Whatever the field, I advise you not to listen to people who tell you that you will not get there, or that limit you in your ambitions!

For my part, I could have continued this progression at the same pace and it would have given me the time to reach a very good level, unfortunately it did not happen like that!

I attribute the progress that I made during this period to the following, of which you can be quite inspired:

It’s an English adaptation of the famous Jeu de Paume. So how day in tennis? In simpler terms, playing tennis involves using a racket to hit the ball to the other side so that the opponent can not put it back within your own court. Namely that playing tennis can be done in one-on-one, or in doubles, four players forming two teams of two. It should also be noted that one can play tennis, either between men, or between women, or in mixed (a double team formed by both sexes).

But here are some more details to better know how to play tennis:

What is the objective of the game ?

As said before, the goal of the game is to hit the ball so that the opponent can not put it back within the confines of your own side. This means that: either the ball falls within the limits of the opponent’s side and the opponent could not reach the ball to send it back, or he could send it back to you, but outside the limits of your own camp, he was able to reach the ball but it failed in the net. So how to play tennis? First you will need a good physical condition, but especially a great control of the ball and your racket, to get your opponent to blame. The match is won by winning a maximum of points, games and sets.

How are the points counted?

Indeed, in the question how to play tennis, a big question also remains hidden: how do we count the points to play tennis? Besides, how to play tennis if you do not even know this kind of detail? First of all, the particular way of counting the points currently dates from a long time ago, in the era of the game of palm: the first putting in game was made with 15 steps, then with 30, then with 40. Then, for play tennis, you should know that one point equals 15, two points equals 30, three points equals 40, and after five points, the player gets a game. After six games (with two games of deviations from the opponent), the player wins a set. And by winning two sets (or three, depending on the competition), the player wins the game.

In short, this is only a brief overview of how to play tennis, because there is still much to say about this sport.
