Kids on Court
Children are the future of the game, and the only way the tennis industry can compete against all the options available to young players is by offering fun and effective programs. These programs have to be designed and adapted to different ability levels to guarantee success, improvement and positive social interactions.
In Kids on Court you will find progressive exercises to introduce and improve all important areas of the game, starting with the development of a broad athletic base and progressing to tennis specific activities that will help players develop seemlessly through the three important stages of the children's game: the red ball phase, the orange ball phase and the green ball phase.
