Practical coaching applications for children in the four to six-year-old range: Perspectives from the USTA`s American Development Model
The principles discussed in this article have been designed for junior players of all ages and abilities, and therefore, are translational to 10 and under tennis. These are the same principles that are represented in the USTA`s American Development Model (ADM). The theory behind the principles will be relayed and then practical applications will be put forward that are pertinent to 4-6-year-olds and speak to long-term athletic development. The overall premise of the ADM is to attract, engage, and retain young players and keep them playing for a lifetime.
