Why Kids Must Hit (Not Catch) to Learn the Game

Why Kids Must Hit (Not Catch) to Learn the Game

Are we preparing kids for tennis, or for a game they’ll never actually play?

Most red stage programs still rely on throwing and catching, but research shows these skills don’t transfer to striking sports like tennis. In this Live, we’ll break down the science, explain why hitting matters, and show you the 5 principles that must guide early-years tennis.


What you’ll learn:


Why throwing & catching games don’t prepare kids for tennis.

What early childhood research really says about fundamental motor skills.

How expert striking sports develop anticipation & perception–action coupling.

The 5 principles of Red Stage practice you can use to check your own sessions.

How to use the RPAT tool to measure whether your practices are truly representative.
