Rally Kids follows the ITF’s Progressive Tennis system of scaled training and competition for kids which is the development method of choice in the majority of the world’s leading tennis nations. It is a play format designed to bring kids into the game by utilizing modified equipment, shorter court dimensions and modified scoring, all tailored to age and size.
This level is where basic stroke production begins, focusing on ground strokes and the serve. We stress the importance of rallying with partners and players develop sufficient consistency to sustain longer rallies.
The program uses 75% slower tennis balls that bounce at a level proportionate to a child’s height to allow better and longer rallies, encouraging the development of all-court games, racquet skills, physical awareness and confidence.
Match Play: Players are strongly encouraged to participate in the 1 hour Saturday match play where the skills gained in clinics are put into context. All packages are designed to make match play extremely economical, even if a player cannot attend every weekend.
Student:Pro Ratio is kept at 4:1. This is a significantly better ratio than would be found in other programs, providing greater interaction between coaches and players while keeping it fun & focused.
