Description
The class is designed to introduce children to the basics of tennis, including how to hold and swing the racket, serve, and play both singles and doubles.
Class Structure:
Basic Skills: Children start by learning the fundamentals, such as how to grip the racket, proper stance, and basic stroke techniques like forehands, backhands, and volleys. The class uses age-appropriate drills and exercises to help kids master these skills.
Fun Drills and Games: To keep the class engaging, instructors incorporate fun drills and games that focus on improving agility, coordination, and hand-eye coordination. These activities also help children practice their tennis skills in a playful and relaxed setting.
Mini Matches: Kids often participate in mini-matches or friendly competitions to apply what they’ve learned in real game scenarios. This helps them understand game strategies, scoring, and sportsmanship.
Footwork and Agility: The class includes exercises to enhance footwork and movement on the court, helping children improve their speed and positioning during play.
