This review is from: Introducing Children to the Game of Tennis: A Guide for Parents of Beginners (Paperback)
This book is well written, thorough and insightful. Mr. Kelley's approach to teaching tennis can be used by any coach, parent or teacher trying to help any athlete learn the fundamentals of any sport. Having coached youth sports for over twenty years I can only say that I wish I had discovered this wonderful book sooner!

Mr. Kelley is an outstanding teacher of tennis. Any parent who is trying to teach their child how to play tennis will benefit from reading this book. Mr. Kelley has a knack for making things easy. Many of the terms will be easy for your child to learn and then apply to learning tennis. I really enjoyed the book and have used many of his suggestions with my own children.

Grandparents Can Teach Tennis Too,
By A Customer
This review is from: Introducing Children to the Game of Tennis: A Guide for Parents of Beginners (Paperback)
A recent move to a home near tennis courts coincided with my grandson coming of "tennis age." Reading Mr. Kelley's superb book reacquainted me with this beginning stage that I had undergone so many years ago. Not having kept up with the game myself, I was also able to relearn and rethink many aspects of the game which I'd consigned to "body memory" years ago, and had perhaps developed to the "sloppy" or "lazy" stage. Now I know how to do it the right way again and how to convey the correct techniques and methods to a six year old. The drills were especially helpful; and the history, glossary, and appendicies were all bonuses. If my grandson keeps up with the game, I'll know that, by having read this book and followed the instructions, I didn't teach him the wrong stuff or "screw up" his development. We had fun, too.
