Age 6 · Fair Lawn Indoor
Tennis for 6-Year-Olds
Six-year-olds start to rally. Not baseline-to-baseline yet, but short-court back-and-forth is very possible. This is where kids start saying 'I love tennis' unprompted.
What we focus on at age 6
- ●Short-court rallies with a coach and a partner
- ●Forehand and backhand recognition
- ●Serving underhand into a target
- ●Playing simple games with rules
Racket size
21 or 23-inch
Ball type

Note for parents
Expect a big gap between the strongest and newest 6-year-olds. Our groups are grouped by ability, not age, so nobody's stuck or left behind.
