You need to strongly consider moving to Florida before she takes any lessons here, so that you are in the right development pipeline from go. Otherwise you could be irretrievably behind by the time she’s 10.

I hope you are joking. Your kid hasn’t started tennis yet but you are considering college tennis or going pro? Tennis is one of the most competitive sports on the planet. Good luck.

Just go outside to some courts and hit around to start. See if she likes it first instead of blindly chasing the next niche sport you can think of in the hopes that she'll be more competitive at it than the last sport you tried.
I have a friend like this. Whatever seasonal sport is on tv or being talked about is suddenly the sport their child is going to be a star at. I think they've tried swim, tennis, water polo, lacrosse, soccer, softball, all in very intense serious ways- like travel and multiple practices per week from day 1. The kid is 11.

Take a chill pill, OP. We started our kid in tennis lessons at our pool and then he did summer league (still through our pool) and then we added on some private lessons (still through our pool) and then he ended up making his high school tennis team. He's now in college and plays club tennis for fun.

Dial this back you silly nit whit your kid is nine.
My kid did start playing til middle school late middle school and surpassed anything you wrote here.
A nine year old send them to some local indoor facility and let them even see if they like it.
You must be a troll
