Children must be cultured in and from a broad base of motor skills in tennis programs. The children’s speed abilities cannot be challenged and therefore fully stimulated in a tennis-specific context. At this stage the acquired tennis skills are unstable under pressure. Consequently, we should consider developing the speed abilities for 10 & under tennis players in a non-specific, yet challenging context within a motor skills practice.
