As a parent, stepping into the world of tennis can feel like learning a whole new language, from strange scoring systems to unfamiliar equipment and coaching styles. Whether your child is just picking up a racquet for the first time or has already started taking lessons, this guide is here to help you feel confident, informed, and empowered to support their journey.

At FOFTA, we believe that behind every successful young athlete is an informed, supportive, and empowered parent. Whether you’re new to tennis or already navigating the competitive journey, this section is designed to help you guide your child with confidence, purpose, and perspective.

Here you’ll find practical advice, guidance, and inspiration rooted in FOFTA’s core values: goal setting, science-based training, faith, hope, and a strong work ethic.
