The first stage of the JMTA Pathway is designed for young players just starting to play the game. Using the appropriate-sized red court (36’) and ball (low compression red) Mac Red One players learn to serve, rally and score on the red court over the lower net. Red One students focus on tracking the ball, moving into effective hitting positions and directing the ball using basic stroke shapes. Actually playing the game from the start increases our youngest students’ motivation to learn and to commit to acquiring new skills, and minimizes frustration/maximizes fun. Mac Red One Players compete in SPORTIME World Tour events.
