Junior Tennis | Hitting With My 7 Year Old Pupil

A short clip of me training with one of my little pupils.
Will is 7 years old and has been playing for only Two years. I have been working with him for just over a year and in that time has made massive improvements.
I promised him that if he keeps improving I will post videos of his progress.

Wow...my boy just turned 8, i just started him... i myself have little to no tennis training or skills, so these videos are very inspiring... just watching the footwork and racket control, hopefully my boy can emulate some of the movements. Great stuff!

Great player! I have a student of the same age who is of similar standard, he has great potential. He is just so keen! He loves tennis, as Will appears to as well. It's great to see such enthusiasm at such a young age.

He is lucky to have you as a teacher !

So technical at such a young age. That was years ago so I wonder: where is this kid today? Is he still playing or pursuing a career in tennis?

How depressing to know that a 7-year old hits better than me
:( great vid though!

I have a 7-year old I that I train with orange balls, but a full-size racket. Would you recommend moving up to regular balls, and skipping the whole orange balls altogether at, say, age 9?
Is there value in orange ball tournaments? Serious question, no disrespect. I played DII, and none of this existed when I was growing up. The world's changing lol

Играет красными, или оранжевыми мячами. Более продвинутые дети в этом возрасте уже хорошо справляются с зелеными.

I started playing tennis at the age of 11, now I have 18. Before tennis I tried judo and basketball and it was an error.
