Good (free) Videos for Teaching a 8 - 10 Year Old?

[Andrewsco]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone here has any suggestions of good video resources on YouTube that would be helpful for coaching a 7 - 10 year old child?

I have seen some really good resources but often they are aimed more so at older kids or adults (I.e Rock Macci videos). I’m hoping for something a little simpler that is more aimed at younger players perhaps?

It could be drills, stroke mechanics, fun games etc - really just looking for some new ideas and resources and suspect quite a few folk on here have some great videos they could share.

thanks in advance!
Andrew

I have always wondered at what point do these great base kids stopped looking like robots and start swing freely.

I think the beginner lessons from BMTSpain are really excellent. I used a lot of the progressions to teach my daughter. https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCKeGZ9rnpqHENoGYQot7UFQ/videos

Some might disagree, but I think the videos Venus Williams has been putting out would be great for children

if you just want the kid to have some fun, there are plenty of videos on youtube, but make sure you learn together, so that you can appreciate the difficulty and not ask too much from the kid.

if you are serious about training the kid e.g. to potentially play college tennis, then find a good coach for weekly private lesson, which counter-intuitively is the cheapest way to achieve the goal.
