Junior Development OS

The starting module for parents. What age to begin, what good first sessions look like, how to build feel for the ball and coordination — and how not to kill the kid's interest on day one. Every decision here shapes the player they become in 10 years.

Checklist

Common mistakes

Focusing on stroke technique too early instead of coordination
Long sessions that make the kid dread coming back to the court
The parent coaches instead of the coach, creating confusion in technique
Comparing the kid to others this early in the path
Expecting fast results in the first few months

Homework

10 minutes a day — juggling a tennis ball or a small ball
Wall drill: hit a target on the wall 10 times in a row
Jumps and direction changes without a ball — just reaction training
One question after practice: "what was fun today?" — instead of a mistake review
