This article discusses balance, one of the six coordination skills the International Tennis Federation (ITF) mentions in its book Strength and Conditioning for Tennis. First, this capacity is discussed, together with the importance of its development in tennis at an early age. Then, two types of balance fundamentals are described, and some examples, and some research carried out on balance in young tennis players are included. Finally, different balance exercises which can be used with beginner players are presented.
