it’s good stuff. I’m a big fan of mini tennis, fully agree with your sentiments on making the players tactically and technically advanced at a young age. I think it’s important to plan mini tennis really well with the main goal of keeping it fresh and challenging for the kids who now play so much more at a younger age.

I also feel knowing when the player can move up is an important skill for a coach. I believe in having players for example doing some sessions on orange and some on green to improve skill development and be able to adapt to the different challenges. Lastly I think there is a danger of doing too much rallying. Of course rallying is important but with the average rally length on the mens tour being 5 shots then I don’t see much rallying and think we need to teach these kids with the modern game in mind!
