Whatever you do make it fun, fun and more fun. The more fun it is, the more likely they are to come back next week.

Make sure that the bat you use is the right size for them. There is nothing worse for a young beginner than trying to lift a bat that is too large or heavy for them.

Begin using tennis balls. Young players can easily have their confidence shattered by starting out using a hard ball. Get them very confident using a tennis ball and then introduce them to the hard ball. You can try one of the practice balls where a tennis ball is stitched inside a leather case as a transition ball. When you introduce the hard ball make sure you use a junior size ball. It is much easier to hold in a small hand.
