Red Stage (6-7 years)

When you do tennis drills for kids in the red stage (beginner level), there are several important things to keep in mind. First, kids should always be motivated and positive. Positive feedback and praise will help kids gain confidence in their abilities and recognize their progress. Second, it is important to tailor training to the needs and abilities of the kids. Children in the Red Stage typically do not yet have the physical strength and stamina to complete longer workouts or learn difficult techniques. Therefore, the drills for kids and techniques taught during training should be easy to understand and adapted to the children’s physical abilities.

Also important is the development of social skills. Tennis is a sport that requires good hand-eye coordination and quick reflexes, but also a certain teamwork and fairness. Kids should therefore learn to work with other kids , support each other and play fairly.

In addition to technical training and social skills, the focus should also be on the enjoyment and fun of tennis. Kids should learn to enjoy the sport and see the movement and the game as something positive and encouraging. This can also be achieved through playful elements and competitions within the training.

Lastly, safety is also important when training tennis with children at Red Stage. Children should learn to be aware of their surroundings and behave appropriately during practice to avoid injury. This includes using appropriate footwear and clothing and avoiding dangerous behaviors or situations.
