3 steps to a killer forehand (for kids). 

We wanted to share our tips for an easy way to teach children the forehand ground stroke. This is an easy way for parents to also teach on a weekend or at the local tennis courts. Remember to get your child to repeat the steps back to you. We call these the 3 S's. 

1. Surf

Standing in a surfer type position allows the students to open up there body whilst creating a balanced position with their feet and knees. This position also forces them side on in one easy and simple movement. This simple and easy to remember position allows kids as young as 5 to be able to position themselves for the stroke.

 
2. Scoop 

Easy to remember and do, the scoop is the swing element of the shot. Students will enjoy telling you the different things that they could scoop such as ice cream, soup or anything their imagination can construct!

3. Shoulder

The final part of the 3-step process is the shoulder. We get the students to land the racquet on top of their shoulder.  This is something easy to remember and do, and really helps to get into the ideal follow through position. 

Boom! A super simple way to teach the forehand groundstroke to kids. Like with most things, the key here is not to over complicate the process and make it easy for young kids to remember and recite.

Good luck with those killer forehands guys!
