How to teach kids tennis? | Part 1 

FACTS

Certainly. The whole time I was wondering what was done to get the kid to that level. More fluid strokes than any adults at the country clubs I once worked at

In his defense, it says part 1, so the teaching part might come later in the ”series”.

@@ad-rock603 I agree he is very solid . I'd like to see him working with his regular coach

@@christiannovak-zemplinski9749 true true , he get the benefit of the doubt . Nonetheless he is a very solid little guy

Also better footwork than most of my adult students

Lmao😂

i heard Rune has distanced himself from Patrick after the Halep fiasco.

@@jessg101 Patrick & Rune have videos of training sessions last week on this channel

@@jessg101 Patrick was in Rune's players box today against Norrie

When I was 7 we didn't have orange / green balls. We just started straight with the regulars ones. I think if the kids are getting injured early on, it's because of too much time spent into screens, or because they didn't get the proper handles of the rackets. And even with proper handle, it's entirely possible that kids this age, especially now, are fragiles because of point 1. Wayy too many kids aren't doing enough sports early on, which results in pretty bad legs form.

Without holding them back or pushing forward too fast it's a judgement call . This kid who is technically sound already, would still have a problem if the ball was struck harder and as Patrick said he wouldn't want the kid to be hitting everything up high either. You can even see Patrick doing his best to keep it low after a while. Many parents will push for the yellow ball, they all think their kids are ready, the weight of a yellow ball can hinder technical improvement (though it seems this dude is extremely technical) do as you see fit but remember there is absolutely no rush.

Lol why? Who told you that? Why use a slower ball if you can handle a faster one

I think if the kid plays good, it's better to use normal balls. Not new balls but used ones are good because they bounce less. What I don't like about red, orange and green ball is everytime when players transition to a new ball they have to adapt the speed and strength of the ball. And another problem I see is the contact point, when they hit the ball. If the racquet face is a little bit open with low pres balls, the ball will go inside the court but with normal balls it will go up.

@@goggleboy2464 lol why? First: not slower and faster. Important bounce less, bacuse this age very important preparing with footwork and arms and body. I’m not a professonal coach but I watched this video and I think the contact point to high! Second: this in the tournament thewy play green court ( 25%less balls and tennis court smaller ) if remain the nirmal ball bounce is not good! This video good for marketing and of course this boy very good. Also good if they use normal balls used one ( but almost same like green one 25% less )

@@berkozturk1618 yes exacatley, but if he play with normal balls and if he go to tournament what hapen?

@@dr26rob he wins because the slower ball is easier as u already said
