You’ll work on helping your juniors serve that perfect serve, as well as returning serve, the backhand and coordination.
It’s important to keep kids’ passion alight within the game, so using equipment such as a hoop will keep them motivated. By having a target, it’ll help kids focus and improve their technique with practice to consistently hit the target. Keep their enthusiasm flowing, by creating races with a zig-zag ladder run or a mini competition of who can hit the most backhands into the hoop. Get your juniors taking part in a fun atmosphere, and they’ll keep picking up their racket!
