Stay At Home Resources
Depending where you are in the world, you may be at different stages of ‘lockdown’. Here in England, although restricted tennis is allowed again, people are still staying at home for the majority of the time. Here are some resources you can send to parents:
LTA Tennis At Home Page – this includes:
- Tennis at Home Exercises – short videos containing tennis exercises.
- Activity Cards – fun, simple activities including colouring, word searches and quizzes.
- Personal Development Challenges – to explore and develop qualities such as resilience, perseverance, passion and respect.
- Learning Activities – tennis themed school lesson activities including numeracy, literacy, gerography and science.
