Tennis Ten's - Tennis for Players Aged 10 and Under
The ITF recommend that players aged 10 and under do not train or play competition with a regular yellow ball on a full court, but instead train and compete with a Red, Orange or Green ball on the appropriate sized court.
Using these slower balls will help players to develop the most efficient technique, and to implement advanced tactics, that in most cases could not be performed using the yellow ball on the full court.
Tennis 10s is part of the ITF’s ‘Tennis…Play and Stay’ campaign, please visit the Play & Stay website.
