Ewa (*2009 / POL) – Forehand 3.0 & Backhand 3.0 in a practice rally with FB-90

Ewa (6 y 3m / POL) – forehand 3.0 and backhand 3.0 practice rally with the DTBT foam ball FB-90 – her body activity dominates in most cases to a big degree the strokes/racket and she coordinates her entire body accordingly to the ball – great TENNIS 3.0 foundation. The main developmental issue with TENNIS 3.0 is that children learn to dominate the strokes with the body action early in the pre-operational and concrete operational stages (stages based on Piaget) of their development. Unfortunately, a majority of the children under current teaching methods focus more at the arm dominance of the strokes/racket, what we call Tennis 2.0 and consider as a significantly less sustainable method of tennis teaching. In contrary, while understanding and properly teaching the essential elements supporting the body dominance of the strokes – TENNIS 3.0, the process seems to be significantly more sustainable as it creates an open system with further development possibilities, even all the way to professional tennis, if desired.
