3.0 out of 5 stars Not a book for beginners, July 26, 2006

This review is from: Tennis For Kids: Over 150 Games to Teach Children the Sport of a Lifetime (Paperback)

This is a good book for coaches and parents that know a lot about tennis, but if you are a parent looking for a book to help you with the basics, do not buy it. It does not help you with the basics, it does not have any photos or sketches -except for some cartoonish drawings- to help you with the drills, movements, position of your legs, arms, shoulders, etc.

I am giving this book 3 stars because it may be usefull for coaches and kids that know how to play tennis, otherwise I would give it less than that.

My wife is a certified tennis professional and works a lot with our school tennis team. She spends a lot of energy looking for ways to improve the kids' skills. This book is one of her favorites. It has a lot of easily explained games focusing on different skills. It is great for bringing variety to practices.

This book speaks to many levels of young players, but I mostly enjoyed the creative games that were well designed to interest my grandchildren while improving their eye-hand coordination, etc. It made it fun and do-able.
