Tennis rackets for kids?

[Anonymous]

My girls are starting tennis this fall and I need to buy a racket for each. Hope not to spend too much, so will try CraigsList first. Any advice on what size racket to buy or what I should look for? One is 42" tall and the other is 48" tall. Thanks!

If you go to Sports Authority, they have small racquets for about $20 each. They say on them what age/height they are for. I'd probably get a 21' for your younger child and a 23" for your older.

$15-20 on Amazon. I'd probably start them with 21" & 19", and plan to move them up a size each after ~6 months.

Nope -- this is the way to go.
Those "cheap" racquets are actually pretty decent these days. Much better than the heavy old cheap ones from back in the day.

PSA:
You hit a tennis ball with a racquet. Not a racket.

Thank you!
