Youth players
Working with teenagersGive teens small coaching responsibilities (helping with drills, feeding balls, encouraging kids).
• Recognize their role as “mentors” to boost confidence and social responsibility.
What you need to bringI recommend for the students to bring their own paddle and drinks,if the students can’t bring paddle I can provide it for them,but they need to bring their own drinks just in case for hydration.
What I can bringIf needed I can provide paddle for my students.Also I can provide indoor and outdoor balls.
