In Grade One Tennis, students should improve their ability to move fluently changing speed and direction. They should continue to develop key fundamental movement skills, both with and without a ball, improving their ability to move in a safe, controlled way.

Our 1st Grade Tennis lesson plans help children develop basic ball and racket control, experiment with different types of sending and receiving, and show some success when aiming at a target.

Tennis lessons play an important role in elementary school PE. They provide opportunities for children to master basic movements and develop fundamental movement skills such as running, jumping, throwing and catching, and developing balance, agility and coordination. Tennis lessons also give children a chance to participate in team games, using simple tactics and forming simple plans to achieve success.

Elementary School Tennis is also great for hand eye coordination development and giving children an opportunity to successfully hold a racket and control ball movements.
