Beginning tennis class
« on: March 06, 2006, 09:27:12 PM »
I am about to teach a beginning level tennis unit in physical education to 6-9 year olds. Is it best to start teaching the closed or open stance? Do you have any suggestions on what I should start with the first day or two?

That is an interesting question.  I am much better off teaching those who have a tennis foundation.  I would personally just let them start hitting balls and get the feel for how a ball bounces, where they need to stand etc.  As they get use to some of those things I would start moving them into the direction of decent form.  I would start with a closed traditional stance I guess.
