Coinciding with the French Open clay season, the FILA KIDS Diamond Cup Children’s Day Special Edition leveraged the clay courts of the Beijing National Tennis Center to specially create the inaugural FILA KIDS Diamond Cup Clay Court Doubles Challenge, a highlight with significant differentiation value among the series of activities. The clay court is not only fertile ground for young players to improve their skills but also imposes higher demands on footwork, movement, and tactical coordination. The doubles format further tests players’ teamwork and on-the-spot adaptability. The clay court event scenario created by this FILA KIDS Diamond Cup not only provided participating young players with a richer competition experience but also allowed them to feel a high-quality competitive atmosphere, helping young players break through their limits in diverse arenas and accumulate comprehensive growth experience.

A key innovation of the 2026 FILA KIDS Diamond Cup is the creation of an “integration of competition and training” system. This Beijing station specially launched a professional fitness and recovery camp, inviting renowned rehabilitation therapist Sheng Yao to be present throughout the event, providing young players with a more systematic and scientific training experience that closely mirrors the logic of professional tournaments.
The training camp focused on “body management,” an aspect often overlooked in the growth process of young players. Combining the characteristics of adolescent development, it provided targeted guidance on footwork, core strength, dynamic stability, and post-match recovery, helping young players establish a more scientific training mindset. At the same time, the camp addressed core professional tournament topics such as energy distribution during consecutive matches, fatigue recovery, and sports injury prevention through easy-to-understand and highly practical on-site teaching.
Notably, the training camp innovatively introduced a “match companion guidance” model. During the Diamond Cup matches on May 30, the coaching team directly entered the competition venue, providing real-time observation and guidance based on the players’ actual match situations. This covered the complete process from pre-match dynamic warm-ups, quick recovery during breaks, state management during consecutive matches, to post-match relaxation and adjustment, allowing young players to truly experience the concept of “team support” in professional tournaments for the first time.
This model not only helps children improve their match performance but also helps them understand that professional tennis is not just about “knowing how to play,” but more importantly, “understanding the body, knowing how to recover, and being able to sustain competition.” This is precisely the growth direction that the FILA KIDS Diamond Cup continues to promote—not only providing a competition platform but also aiming to help young people establish a long-term, scientific, and professional tennis development system.

In addition to professional tournaments and training content, the Beijing Children’s Day Special Edition also simultaneously launched a “Children’s Day Special Event.” The event featured fun tennis interactions, parent-child games, and player card experience check-in areas. Many children moved between various interactive points to complete tasks, and many parents participated in tennis activities with their children for the first time. Compared to traditional match venues, the National Tennis Center that day had many more moments of “companionship” and “sharing.”
For many children, tennis doesn’t necessarily start with match results but begins with a game, a hug, or completing a challenge together with friends. This approach allows more families to naturally step into tennis, enabling children to feel the joy, confidence, and sense of companionship that sports bring, beyond competition.
It is this resonance that makes FILA KIDS focus not only on wins and losses on the court but also on the smiles and companionship of children with every swing. To this end, the brand has continuously iterated and upgraded this year, gradually building a comprehensive professional children’s sportswear lineup—including top products like the Ice Spin Polo and Susan Skirt—fully adapting to diverse sports scenarios for children, dedicated to providing professional, comfortable, and stylish sportswear for young athletes. With high-quality sports equipment as support, it helps young players shine on the court.
Looking ahead, FILA KIDS will continue to safeguard the tennis future of young people with more professional tournament formats, better services, and broader platforms, contributing to the vigorous development of youth tennis in China.
