Message: [QUOTE="JackBauer44, post: 4661994, member: 227"] For tennis fans in the group - I have two young girls. One who turns 4 today and an almost two year old. When my oldest turned 2, I gave her a racquet and started working mini-drills in our playroom. The USTA has a system for kids-development. It starts with Red Balls (lowest compression) and a very small court. Recommended guidelines say red ball is for 5-7 year olds. Orange Balls are the next progression and have a recommended age of 7-9. My 4 year old started her first official tennis classes at our local club, and after one class, they've moved her up from Red Ball to Orange Ball. I was shocked because we really haven't done a lot of movement based hitting, but she was just killing it on the red ball court. My wife is telling me to calm my emotions, but I'm excited that she loves tennis and has a knack for it. Hopefully she continues to get mine and my wife's height. [/QUOTE]
