Hi Nikki,

You have come to the right place! We have plenty of excellent tennis drills and plans for you to teach children with. One of them includes this forehand development drill below, which I found using the search bar (at the top of the page).

This practice looks at improving your player's technique and co-ordination. If you take a look at the co-ordination and fun games category, you'll find loads of fun drills to keep them happy playing tennis! 

Take a look through all of our tennis drills, to see what takes your fancy.

Hope that helps!

One-Handed Backhand: Classic Technique in Modern Tennis

The one-handed backhand is becoming rare, but when executed well, it remains one of tennis's most elegant and effective shots. Is it a dying art or a tactical advantage?
