Recently more and more parents have been pulling their kids out of tournaments. The reason for this is because they believe it is too much stress for them.
The Williams sisters weren't aloud to play junior tournaments for their whole childhood but Serena still turned up to be the best womens' tennis player of all time. Was that because she didn't play junior tournaments or is it just coincidence. Besides, your success in junior tournaments has nothing to do with whether you're even going to be on the pro tour or how good you're going to be, it's more to have a Gage of where your skill level is. UCLA researchers conducted a study to see how stressful youth sports really are. They gave athletes from ages 9 to 14 questionnaires to fill out and it turns out sports are less stressful then music recitals and solos, wrestling was the only sport more stressful. In fact, sports were found to be less stressful than regular school tests. So there really isn't a reason to be pulling out your child from tournaments, they're fun and good for learning. You might want to pull your children out if they don't like it or if they're hot heads you might want to. Federer was also banned from tournaments for a little while and he's the bets men's tennis player ever. I believe that is because when you play tournaments you don't have the guidance of your coach and you end up cutting corners on technique and end up developing bad habits and it ends up setting you back from the technical side. On the other hand, you won't get the development of mental edge if you don't play tournaments, but that is fine if your kids don't have any plans t take tennis further than for fun.
