Everything in a Super Aces class is built from movement a child can already do. These five are the same games, at home, in ten minutes.
1. Stop on one foot
Walk, then stop when you say stop — on one foot, then the other. This is the balance a forehand is built on.
2. Roll and catch
Roll a ball across the floor to each other. Roll it to one side and watch which hand they use to stop it.
3. Wall bounce
Throw a ball at a wall and catch it after one bounce. Start close; move back when it gets easy.
4. Balloon keep-up
A balloon is slower than a ball and gives a four-year-old time to decide. Count the hits out loud.
5. Line walking
Follow a line on the pavement, forwards, then backwards. Court lines are the same idea.
Ten minutes, then stop while it is still fun. That last part is the whole method.
