Red Ball Tennis Training

Red ball tennis training is designed for young beginners, typically aged 5-8, and uses larger, softer red balls on a smaller court with a lower net. This stage focuses on developing fundamental movement skills, hand-eye coordination, and basic tennis strokes in a fun and engaging way. Players learn to rally, serve, and score, building a strong foundation for future tennis development.
