The Process For Teaching Tennis to Children

By Davis Pete


Tennis is an excellent sporting activity which is easily embraced by most people. It gives a good hearty exercise while at the same time provides an element of challenge and competition which feeds into the natural instinct of mankind. Young people such as kids will find tennis very fun and enjoyable to play. It is a sport which is quite easy to learn. Nevertheless, it depends on how well the tennis coach is able to communicate and connect with the kids when conducting the tennis lessons. In short, tennis lessons for kids would be more fun and less serious as compared to that for older people.

In Singapore, we have many tennis courts and tennis centers for one to play the game. Hence, there should not be an issue when it comes to finding a tennis court. The main so-called problem would be in identifying the right coach for the kid or kids. A good tennis coach is able to motivate and make the kids enjoy learning the game. The kids should look forward to the tennis lesson and find it a bore. The coach must be able to get the kids to swing at the ball initially without getting too technical at this stage. Kids group lessons can be a good place to start as kids like to follow their peers in learning new things.

Group tennis lessons can be fun but if the youngster shows a real desire to learn, then private tennis lessons are best. They still have to be as much fun as possible, though. The rules of the game can be communicated as a young person is learning proper technique. Tennis rules are in a class all by themselves and your kid needs to know how important the boundary lines are in the game and how important it is to keep the ball within the boundaries as it is served to the opponent's side.

At this tender age, it is imperative to impart the knowledge of sound technique and rules of the game to the child. The kid must know how to hit and execute a stroke with the correct technique. Also important is the need to learn the trait of sportsmanship i.e. being able to win or lose the game graciously.

If your child is talented and shows promising talent for the game, you should let him or her mature into the game, rather than force them to do well. Putting undue pressure on the child may break him mentally and physically as the child's body is not yet ready for such heavy duty punishment. In summary, it is better to let him enjoy the game and see how things transpires.
