In this tennis lesson for 7 and 8-year-olds, I’ll show you how I coached my daughters through real drills, skill-building exercises, and a competitive tie-break match.
This is Lesson 17 in the My Daddy / My Coach series - a 47-lesson journey showing exactly how I taught my kids tennis from the ground up.
Watch us warm up, improve footwork, refine forehands and backhands, and work on both flat and slice serves. You’ll also get to see a full tie-break game where they put their new skills to the test. If you’re a tennis parent or a junior coach, this lesson is packed with practical drills and inspiration for coaching kids under 10.
🐾 Bonus: Watch for a surprise visit from our cat, Pisu!
