Kings Highway: Red Ball 2 Tennis

“At the Red 2 level, lesson plans are designed to introduce the second level of Darien Tennis Academy tennis competencies. This group focuses on development of topspin on both forehand and backhand groundstrokes, appropriate use of grips, including continental, and useful execution of tennis-specific footwork patterns (i.e. split step, side shuffle). Red 2 players will move to the final stage of the Red program with a much – improved understanding of how to “play” the game, including the ability to “move” the ball (especially side to side) while recognizing “open court” spaces. Red 2 is an ideal program for reinforcement of beginner skills.” For ages 6-9.
