Hi Mateo,
The best place to start is to get the kids used to holding the racket and developing their hand-eye coordination with the racket and ball.
Also, keep the session fun! My favourite drill for complete beginners is the Move the Cone drill which is below. It`s great as it offers some competition elements which kids love, as well as good fun whilst developing their coordination.
I hope this helps!
Move the cone
DESCRIPTION
Each player has own area with cones placed all around, and players start bouncing the ball up and they try to hit own cone. If the cone is hit, the player takes the cone and puts on the other player's area. The goal is to move as many cones to the other player as possible.
