More About This Unit
What do our 3rd Grade Tennis lesson plans cover?
In Grade 3 Tennis, children should continue to develop racket and ball control, improving control when moving around, and increasing the accuracy and control when performing shots such as forehand, backhand, and lift shot.
Our 3rd Grade Tennis lessons improve decision making in game situations, allowing students to play shots and move into good positions on the court to make it difficult for opponents. Students are encouraged to work well with others, communicating and collaborating, whilst being fair and respectful when competing against others.
Why are Tennis lessons important for elementary-age children?
Tennis lessons play an important role in elementary school PE. They provide opportunities for children to use running, jumping, throwing, and catching in game situations, and continue to develop balance, strength, agility, and control. Tennis lessons also give children a chance to participate in competitive games, using basic skills and knowledge to make it difficult for the opposition.
Elementary School Tennis is also great for promoting values such as fair play and for helping children develop confidence, control, and whole-body fitness.
