Personal Development
Personal development is an important part of the primary curriculum. LTA Youth provides schools with inspirational content, giving children the chance to explore key character qualities demonstrated by tennis players, such as resilience, perseverance, passion and respect. We’ve adapted some of this, so children and their families can learn together at home.
There are five challenges, which you can complete inside your home or in an outside space if you have one – why not complete one a day? You don’t need any special equipment – some challenges need no equipment at all; others only whatever you can find around the home.
Each challenge focuses on one key character quality; however, children are encouraged to think about the other qualities which they might be using too. There is also a final ‘personal challenge’ which encourages children to develop a skill over the course of a week.
These challenges are aimed at children aged 7-11 years old.
