A question we often get from parents — what size racquet should my child be using? 🎾
There isn't a one-size-fits-all answer, but this guide is a great starting point. Age, height, strength and playing level all play a part.
Take a look at the original post for the full guide.
🎾 Is your child using the right size tennis racquet?
The right racquet doesn't just make tennis easier—it helps young players develop better skills, confidence and a lifelong love of the game.
✅ Better technique
✅ More control
✅ Fewer injuries
✅ Greater confidence
✅ Faster development
A simple guide:
🔴 Red Ball (5-8 yrs): 19""-23"" racquet
🟠 Orange Ball (8-10 yrs): 23""-25"" racquet
🟢 Green Ball (9-11 yrs): 25""-26"" racquet
🟡 Yellow Ball (11+ yrs): 26""-27"" racquet (depending on height and strength)
Remember, age is only a guide. A player's height, strength and stage of development are the most important factors.
Before buying the next racquet, ask your coach. The right racquet today will help your child improve much faster than one they'll "grow into."
