What size court is suitable for children
The International Tennis Association is considering two levels of court for children under the age of ten. The first, also known as the red level, designed for children from 6 to 8 years old, indicates the size of the court 11x5.5 m. This is a quarter of the standard court for adults. It is logical that it also uses a special small net for young tennis players. Older guys play on the orange court: its dimensions are 6.5x18 or 8.23x18 m. It is easy to guess why the playgrounds for children are much smaller than for adults: on a big court, the child will not have time to move around in his own half, and he is unlikely to be able to to make a strong serve so that the ball reaches the territory of the opponent.
What you need to know about the outsole of tennis shoes
To make the game enjoyable, you need to take into account every little thing - in the case of tennis, even what the sole of the sneakers will be like! For its production, a special rubber compound is used, which is characterized by unique flexibility and wear resistance. The soles of sneakers have different types - depending on what court surface the training or game takes place on. That is why when choosing shoes, you should pay attention to the surface - hard, grass, carpet or soil. It is worth noting that the sole narrows in the middle of the shoe, and for good reason: this is how the player's foot is stabilized. For the manufacture of such a part of the sole, urethane rubber is used.
What are children's tennis rackets made from?
For the manufacture of rackets for children, aluminum, graphite or a composite of them can be used. True, the first option is more common. The fact is that aluminum is softer than graphite, it does not have such a density and therefore it is easy and convenient to hold the racket with a child's hand. However, it cannot boast the same characteristics as a graphite racket - power, excellent transfer of feeling of the ball, improved control, etc. After the young athlete gains experience and gets stronger, he can work with a composite or all-graphite racket.
