Age 5 · Fair Lawn Indoor
Tennis for 5-Year-Olds
Five is where it starts. At this age we build the motor patterns — swing, catch, throw, run — using games, not drills. Real tennis grows out of it naturally.
What we focus on at age 5
- ●Hand-eye coordination through catch and toss games
- ●Balance and footwork on-court
- ●Grip basics — how to hold the racket without adult supervision every 20 seconds
- ●Following instructions in a group setting
Racket size
21-inch
Ball type

Note for parents
Bring snacks for after. Expect exhaustion in the best way. Zero pressure to look like tennis on TV.
