QuickStart Tennis - Ages 5 & 6: Jacks

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

Today, we highlight a fun warm-up activity for beginning players called "Jacks."

The player tosses the ball up and lets it bounce and bumps it up with the racquet and catches it and announces onesies. The player then attempts to tap it up twice, twosies and so on until they reach fivesies."
