I used to focus on technique straight away and we ended up with lots of kids with good looking swings, that couldn't play and the retention wasn't very good, now we focus on early success and when they move up to orange ball we get stuck into technique, retention is vastly improved and we are producing the most super 10 kids in SA
Excellent tips, I'm trying to coach my daughter who is 4.5 and its quite difficult to come up with fun drills. I've spent a lot of my life on a tennis court but hitting 100+ balls in a row maybe worked for me as a 14 year old doesn't really work for her. Trying to keep it fun while not goofing off too much
Karl at 4.5 its all about fun, if she has fun, she will want to keep playing, the more she wants to play the better she gets, just add little tips into the fun activities and she will learn without knowing it.
just get a 19 inch, aluminium, from either Babolat, Wilson, Head. Yonex, Dunlop, they don't need graphite racquets until they start playing with normal, yellow balls, should cost around $35-40 Australian dollars
Thats true Dave, but when i learned ( a long time ago), most the kids started playing around 9rs old and where very coordinated from playing outside all the time, instead off playing inside on a computer, today the kids are starting at 5-6 yrs old with bad co-ordination, believe me, the coloured balls really help getting the kids to succeed quicker, so enjoying it more, so keep playing,.
I love how little you focused on hands and how the racket is held and its motion, and instead mostly on reading the bounce and moving. Thanks!

This is really helpful! I'd like to get my little niece and nephew started with tennis, and this gives me some great ideas.

Orange ball green ball red ball blue ball. So many players used YELLOW balls and learned to play the game.quite well.
