Tennis is a wonderful game which most people would concur. Tennis is able to provide a good workout for the heart as well introduce the element of sportsmanship and competition for all to enjoy and experience. Children will find such a game exciting and fun to play. It is a fairly easy sport to pick up. However, the tennis coach must be someone who works well with kids. Therefore, tennis lessons for kids are generally unlike that for grown ups.

There are a number of places to play tennis. Singapore has quite a few so that arranging for tennis lessons is not that big of a problem. Finding the right tennis coach for your kid, however, will take a little more time. This person has to be extremely patient. Kids do not have the concentration and mental discipline skills of an older person. They get very easily distracted particularly when things don't come to them easily. A good instructor will make the lesson a fun activity so that the child wants to keep trying. The tennis court should never be a place where a youngster doesn't want to go. The instructor takes his or her young student through the motions gradually. Ground strokes are mastered first and then the overhead swing for beginner tennis. Kids group tennis lessons are sometimes a good way to make the instruction more of a social event where children get to know each other, and learn from watching.

If the child shows that he has the ability to play tennis, you may wish to put him into private tennis lessons to hone up his skills. However, to make it more and to have some interaction with his peers, enrolling the child into group tennis lessons can be a good idea as well. If the child is able to learn the finer points of tennis stroke techniques at a very young age, they will have a good chance of doing well in the game as they grow older.

At this tender age, it is imperative to impart the knowledge of sound technique and rules of the game to the child. The kid must know how to hit and execute a stroke with the correct technique. Also important is the need to learn the trait of sportsmanship i.e. being able to win or lose the game graciously.

If your child is talented and shows promising talent for the game, you should let him or her mature into the game, rather than force them to do well. Putting undue pressure on the child may break him mentally and physically as the child's body is not yet ready for such heavy duty punishment. In summary, it is better to let him enjoy the game and see how things transpires.
