QuickStart Tennis - Ages 9 & 10: Jog Ball

Celebrate Tennis Month in May with the USTA by getting your children involved with the lifetime sport.

Today, we highlight a movement activity called "Jog Ball."

While players are jogging in a large circle, they toss the ball up and catch it after the bounce with two hands, then with the right hand, and then the left hand. Keep players moving and have them change direction when the coach calls out to change directions.
