  • What do I need to have for tennis lessons?
    To ensure you have a productive and enjoyable tennis lesson, please make sure to bring the following items: Sport Clothes: Wear comfortable athletic attire that allows for easy movement. Avoid clothing that restricts your range of motion. Tennis Shoes: Proper tennis shoes are essential for good traction and support on the court. Avoid running shoes or shoes with non-tennis-specific soles. Tennis Racquet: Bring your own tennis racquet suitable for your skill level and playing style. If you don't have one, some facilities may provide loaner racquets. Hat: Protect yourself from the sun by wearing a hat with a brim that shades your face and eyes. This helps prevent sunburn and improves visibility during play. Sunscreen: Apply sunscreen with a high SPF rating before your lesson to protect your skin from harmful UV rays, especially during outdoor sessions. Water Bottle: Stay hydrated throughout your lesson by bringing a refillable water bottle. It's important to drink plenty of water, especially during physical activity, to maintain energy levels and prevent dehydration. These items are essential for a successful tennis lesson, ensuring you have the right gear to play comfortably and safely. If you have any specific questions about equipment or attire, feel free to ask your instructor or the facility staff for guidance.
  • I am new in tennis, what racquet I need to buy?
    Ages 3-5 Years Old: For children in this age range, it's important to focus on lightweight and manageable racquets. Look for racquets that are specifically designed for young beginners, with shorter lengths and smaller grips that are easier for small hands to hold. Consider 21' size racquet for this age. Opt for racquets made from durable materials that can withstand playful handling and occasional drops. Consider racquets with oversized heads to provide a larger sweet spot, making it easier for young players to make contact with the ball. Ages 6-7 Years Old: As children grow and develop their skills, you can choose slightly larger racquets with a bit more weight to them. However, the emphasis should still be on lightweight models that are easy to maneuver. Look for racquets with a good balance between power and control, as young players start to work on their technique and coordination. Consider racquets with vibration dampening technology to reduce the impact on young players' arms and elbows. Ages 8-10 Years Old: By this age, children are typically more coordinated and can handle racquets with more weight and a standard grip size. Look for racquets with a length of around 23-25 inches. Consider racquets with a moderate head size (around 100-110 square inches) to provide a good balance of power and control. Pay attention to the string pattern and tension, opting for a more forgiving string bed that helps with ball control and spin. Ages 10-13 Years Old: Older children in this age group can transition to standard-sized adult racquets with grip sizes appropriate for their hand size. Choose racquets with a moderate weight and balance that suits their playing style, whether they prefer more power or control. Consider consulting with a coach or tennis professional to determine the right racquet specifications based on the child's skill level and playing goals. Adults: If you're new to tennis, start with a lightweight racquet that offers a good balance of power and control. Look for racquets with larger head sizes (around 100-110 square inches) as they provide a larger sweet spot for better ball contact. Choose a grip size that feels comfortable in your hand. Grip sizes typically range from 4 to 4 5/8 inches, and you can test different sizes to find the one that suits you best. Consider a racquet with a slightly head-heavy balance for added power, especially if you're still working on developing your strokes and generating racket head speed. Additional Tips: Always prioritize comfort and ease of use, especially for novice players who are still learning the fundamentals of tennis. Encourage trying out different racquets before making a final decision to find the one that feels the most comfortable and natural. Regularly check the string tension and overall condition of the racquet to ensure optimal performance and safety during play. Remember, the right tennis racquet can greatly enhance a novice player's enjoyment of the game and support their development and progress on the court.
