Equipment
Just as kids need a court that suits their size, they also need the right size equipment. That's why both the racquet and ball are different from the equipment adults use.

Racquets
For an adult player to succeed at tennis, racquet control is essential. Same goes for kids. But since kids are smaller than adults, kids have trouble controlling full-size racquets. They're too long, they're too heavy, and the grips are too large. Kids need racquets that are proportionate in length and weight and have a grip that fits their smaller hands.  

Available at BridgeMill Tennis Pro Shop.

For 8 & under, the racquet should be 19", 21" or 23".
For 10 & under, the racquet should be 23" or 25".


The Futures Smash program at BridgeMill is designed to introduce tennis to players age 4 to 7 in a fun and stress free environment.  Tennis instruction is games based and exercises are short in length.  Each class, emphasis is on guiding junior players through the fundamentals as well as introducing them to scoring and the general rules of tennis. 
Eye hand coordination games are also used to prepare juniors for more complex tennis related movement.  Futures Smash clinics are 9 weeks in length during the Spring and Fall seasons. 
During the summer, these clinics are offered weekly to allow for vacation time.
