Junior tennis racket sizes by height
Junior rackets are classified by their length in inches. Choosing this measurement correctly is essential so a child can prepare, accelerate and control the racket without excessive effort. The guide below links each length to a suggested height range and gives direct access to every size category.

Rackets of the same length can have very different playing characteristics.
- Aluminium supports the first steps.
- Composite frames add stability and feel.
