Lawn tennis (or simply tennis) is a sport that at the dawn of its appearance was very popular among aristocrats (it is known that many French kings played it five centuries ago). Over time, it has become more “democratic” and widespread, and now the audience of those playing tennis and watching tennis competitions numbers in the millions.
Modern tennis tournaments (Roland Garros, Kremlin Cup, etc.) are always events that bring together the best athletes on the planet and connoisseurs of their skills. Among the world's leading tennis players you can meet many of our compatriots. All this also attracts representatives of the younger generation. Both boys and girls living in our city can enroll in specialized sections and tennis clubs.
Tennis is a great way to improve your physical fitness, stay in good shape and feel confident. Thanks to it, many muscle groups develop, the functioning of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems improves, the children become more resilient, coordinated, and attentive. This is a great activity for a modern person who values a healthy lifestyle.
What court size is suitable for children?
The International Tennis Association is considering two levels of court for children under ten years of age. The first, also known as the red level, intended for children from 6 to 8 years old, indicates a court size of 11x5.5 m. This is a quarter of a standard adult court. It is logical that it also uses a special small net for young tennis players. Older children play on the orange court: its dimensions are 6.5x18 or 8.23x18 m. It’s not hard to guess why the courts for children are significantly smaller than for adults: on a large court, a child will not have time to move around his half, and is unlikely to be able to make a strong serve so that the ball reaches the opponent's territory.
What you need to know about the sole of tennis shoes
To make the game enjoyable, you need to take into account every little detail - in the case of tennis, even what the sole of the sneakers will be! For its production, a special rubber mixture is used, which is characterized by unique flexibility and wear resistance. The soles of sneakers have different types, depending on what court surface the training or game is taking place on. That is why when choosing shoes you should pay attention to the surface - hard, grass, carpet or dirt. It is worth noting that in the middle of the shoe the sole tapers, and for good reason: this is how the player’s foot is stabilized. To make this part of the sole, urethane rubber is used.
What are children's tennis rackets made from?
Aluminum, graphite or a composite of them can be used to make rackets for children. True, the first option is still more common. The fact is that aluminum is softer than graphite, has less density and therefore the racket is easy and comfortable to hold with a child’s hand. However, it cannot boast the same characteristics as a graphite racquet - power, excellent ball feel, improved control, etc. After the young athlete gains experience and strength, he can work with a composite or all-graphite racket.
