5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction to tennis for all kids, 16 April 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Junior Tennis: A Complete Coaching Manual for the Young Tennis Player (Paperback)
This book is a great first introduction to tennis for the Tim Henman's and Venus Williams's of the future. It covers all sorts of interesting things from the history of the game, practical advice, how to behave, what equipment you can buy, tips, drills, techniques and strokes.

The book is a complete guide to the beginner, coaches and parents who want to teach tennis to kids from 6 to 16.

There is some great advice in the book. How to get involved with clubs, coaches, tournaments and most importantly "have fun".

Each stroke is described in simple terms. For example, the backhand lob is described in colour photos showing 6 phases of the stroke along with descriptions of the "grip and stance", "backswing", "striking the ball" and the "follow through".

I particularly liked the use of colour in the book. Its layout is bright and interesting. It includes loads of photos of both the stars of today as well as the young Wimbledon champions of tomorrow demonstrating the fundemental strokes of the game.

Well worth a read for the younger tennis player and beginners too. A great introduction to the game in a simple, easy to read format.
