How To Teach Your Kid Tennis

By Davis Pete





Tennis is a great sport and very few people can argue with that statement. It has all the challenge of competition as well as being a great exercise with a lot of cardiovascular activity. It's the type of sport that kids would enjoy playing. It isn't that difficult to learn, but the person doing the teaching should be able to interact easily with younger people. A tennis lesson for a kid is really quite different than adult tennis lessons.



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.



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.



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.



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.
