Tips For Kids To Learn Tennis

By Davis Pete


Tennis is a wonderful game which most people would concur. Tennis is able to provide a good workout for the heart as well introduce the element of sportsmanship and competition for all to enjoy and experience. Children will find such a game exciting and fun to play. It is a fairly easy sport to pick up. However, the tennis coach must be someone who works well with kids. Therefore, tennis lessons for kids are generally unlike that for grown ups.

In Singapore, we have many tennis courts and facilities for one to experience the sport. Hence, there should not be a problem when it comes to locating a tennis court. The main concern would be in determining the right instructor for the kid or children. An excellent tennis instructor is able to encourage and make the children appreciate the tennis lesson. The children should look ahead to the tennis lesson and find it an exciting event to attend. The instructor must be able to get the children to simply hit at the tennis ball at this point without getting too hung up on techniques at this level. Kids team training can be a excellent way to start as children like to mimic and be encouraged by their colleagues in doing new things.

If the child shows that he has the ability to play tennis, you may wish to put him into private tennis lessons to hone up his skills. However, to make it more and to have some interaction with his peers, enrolling the child into group tennis lessons can be a good idea as well. If the child is able to learn the finer points of tennis stroke techniques at a very young age, they will have a good chance of doing well in the game as they grow older.

The child also should appreciate that if the ball bounces more than once on his or her side, the opponent gains a point. He or she will pretty much understand that failing to hit the ball back over the net will also result in a missed point. Teaching the rules at the same time as technique is being learned helps a child better understand why staying alert is essential to winning a game.

Some parents have visions of professional tennis whenever they see their children do well. That is not a good idea at all and is unfair to the kids. Tennis is meant to be fun at an early age and not an occupation. Putting too much pressure on a budding tennis player will only result in the youngster walking away from the game entirely. Teaching your kid tennis should be enjoyable and the child should think of it as fun. That way, a lifelong attachment to the game can be generated.
