Ten and Under Tennis

This is great stuff.  I didn’t come out of the womb swinging a racket, but I didn’t wait until my teens to begin playing either. 

I wasn’t a big kid and then again, that’s exactly what I am now, but I don’t remember the equipment or the court being overwhelming.  I didn’t know better.  My parents and many others had no option, short of remanufacturing rackets and balls and building us our own special court.  None of that was going to happen, not even in the best of times.

I truly hadn’t thought much of this until I had been around enough little ones out on the court dragging rackets (nearly their height) on the court between strokes and watching the tennis ball nearly take the racket out of their hand.  Not to mention that getting the ball back across the net, for a six year old, is probably equivalent to throwing a bowling ball half the distance of a football field, for an adult.

Thanks to 10 and Under Tennis, the initiative is on and it seems they have ample support to make this happen.

If you have children tennis players or work with kids on the court, please learn more by going to Ten and Under Tennis.

We haven’t had the opportunity to compare pricing of equipment and what may be the cost of implementing the court modifications at your local public court or club, yet we hope all those involved make it affordable enough for those interested while also keeping it profitable enough to keep the program moving forward.

At least this is a good start.  If you have experience with this application, please feel free to share them with us at Contact Us so that we may help get the word out.
