When I work with kids, I focus on making tennis fun, active, and confidence-building. I use age-appropriate drills that keep them moving while teaching the fundamentals—proper grip, footwork, contact point, and balance. I break skills into smaller steps, celebrate small wins, and mix learning with games so they stay engaged and excited to improve. My priority is creating a positive environment where kids feel supported, learn correct technique early, and develop a love for tennis that motivates them to keep playing.
