How to play the games👇🏼

These games are perfect for children aged 3–10 and help develop the tracking, timing and hand-eye coordination they need to rally confidently on court.

🎈 1. Keepy Uppy

How to play: Start with a balloon and use your hands to keep it from touching the ground.

The goal: Keep it up for one minute. Once that becomes easy, try alternating hands or using a soft ball for an extra challenge.

Why it helps: Your child learns to track a moving object, react quickly and position themselves underneath it, which are all important skills when judging a tennis ball.

🤲 2. Throw and Catch

How to play: Stand opposite each other and throw a ball underarm from low to high, just like the movement of a forehand. The other person catches it and throws it back.

The goal: Complete 10 catches in a row. Once you can do that, take a step further apart or let the ball bounce once before catching it.

Why it helps: This develops hand-eye coordination, control and the low-to-high movement children use when hitting a forehand.

🎾 3. Hand Tennis

How to play: Use a line, piece of rope or any object as your “net”. Let the ball bounce once, then use your palm to hit it up and over to the other player.

The goal: Work together to complete a rally of five, then see if you can reach 10!

Why it helps: Hand tennis teaches children to follow the ball, move into position, control its direction and understand the rhythm of a rally.

The best part? They’ll think they’re simply playing, but they’re building the foundations that will make learning tennis much easier.
