Abstract
A tennis training device includes a rod secured vertically above the tennis court net and having three successive length sections demarked by different colors to guide a tennis player regarding the height of the ball as it passes over the net. The rod is preferably three feet long and each section is one foot in length. Support for the rod is achieved by an extension rod connected end-to-end with the marked rod and inserted through plural interstices of the net. An extension rod may be secured to the top of the marked rod to suspend an apertured target member used for practicing serves. One of the marked/support rods may be provided with two pairs of apertures which cooperate with respective support pins to secure the rod to a chain link fence.
