Abstract

Success at the very beginner level of tennis is very important for increasing and maintaining the number of children involved in
sports practice. To ensure success, it is imperative that the programs are structured in the right way to provide a positive environment
of practice, and that the coaches involved are qualified and aware of their role working with children. Well organised programs offer
quality access points and pathways to continued tennis practice, and effectively contribute to the growth and development of tennis
in general.
