Tips for Kids To Learn Tennis

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.

Learning together with other kids alongside them can be a good place to start. However, if your child shows a strong aptitude and interest in the sport of tennis, you may also wish to give him individual tennis lessons to speed up his learning of the game. Learning correct techniques and the rules of the game are important at a young stage. Kids will be able to learn the game faster if they were to take part in some age group tennis tournaments.

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.

As in most cases, some kids who are talented will fizzle out in the game due to parental pressure taking its toll or just being so mentally burnt out. In other cases, the kids can be physically hurt as well for going through too much at a tender age. It is more important to let the child enjoy and develop in their own time and pace. This will allow a more fun approach to the game of tennis.
