Massive interest in Wimbledon each year, draws
ReplyDeletethousands of newcomers to tennis. The game
offers such physical, social and mental benefits
that many parents regard it as an ideal sport for
their children.
In the past, this has often led to disillusionment, as the high
bouncing ball made the game too difficult for young children.
Mini Tennis, for three to ten year olds, has changed this.
Introduced by the Lawn Tennis Association five years ago,
its special soft balls, small rackets and court, encourage
more children to take up tennis than ever before.
There are now over 800 clubs in the UK offering Mini Tennis
programmes and 80,000 children take part. Some clubs
offer Tots Tennis courses for children from as young as two.
