Following on from mlax's post ( rubber & blades for 5 year olds) I'd like to ask for any tips/drills for coaching this 5-7 age group. I want to do more fun exercises with my son and his friend (age 6) but they have very short attention spans and as soon as we move on to something new/move away from the table they can easily lose interest. The boys also stand on a platform, side by side, one doing FH and the other BH drive multiball. With both of them on the platform it's hard to do anything regarding footwork though we do by shadowing or ocassionally alternating turns, if their attention span allows. So far as mentioned its just been FH & BH drives plus learning to serve, maybe repetition is best I just want to ease in something to challenge the boys or get them ţo be creative. Please respond with any thoughts.
