starts with throwing a ball into a target, throwing, underhand in particular is a great precursor to swinging
a relaxed arm and efficient throwing motion should be practiced
a sideways throwing motion needs to be used to engage the entire body
underhand throws would be ideal but at a younger age overhead throws need to be used more often than not
on the backhand side, frisbee throws are used
using the racquet, with solo hits, kids try to hit the ball into the targets
bounce hit, on the fly and coming off the sidewall after one bounce
