JuniorsBeach Tennis for Kids
Soft ball, soft landing, simple rules. why beach tennis is a brilliant first racket sport for children.
Beach tennis is excellent for kids: the depressurized foam-soft ball and the sand surface make it low-impact and safe, the no-bounce volley game is easy to pick up, and short rallies keep children engaged. Many clubs and the ITF run junior programmes, and you can start kids with a lighter paddle on a smaller area.
Getting Kids Started.
The depressurized ball travels slower and lands softer than a tennis ball, and sand cushions falls, so beach tennis is gentle on young bodies and confidence. The rules are simple. hit it over the net before it bounces.
Start with a lighter paddle and a smaller playing area, keep rallies cooperative at first, and let them build to scoring. Look for junior programmes at local clubs (see where to play). it is social, active, and easy to love.
