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.

There are a number of places to play tennis. Singapore has quite a few so that arranging for tennis lessons is not that big of a problem. Finding the right tennis coach for your kid, however, will take a little more time. This person has to be extremely patient. Kids do not have the concentration and mental discipline skills of an older person. They get very easily distracted particularly when things don't come to them easily. A good instructor will make the lesson a fun activity so that the child wants to keep trying. The tennis court should never be a place where a youngster doesn't want to go. The instructor takes his or her young student through the motions gradually. Ground strokes are mastered first and then the overhead swing for beginner tennis. Kids group tennis lessons are sometimes a good way to make the instruction more of a social event where children get to know each other, and learn from watching.

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.
