Slow movement on court is not a technique problem.
If your junior is always late to the ball, the standard advice is to watch the ball better, prepare earlier, move their feet more. The technique gets adjusted over and over. The movement speed doesn't change. Because movement speed cannot be coached — it has to be trained.
Speed and physical development is a separate discipline from tennis technique. A junior who hasn't built strength, hasn't trained acceleration, and hasn't developed the physical habits that produce fast movement will remain slow no matter how many lessons they take.
Fix the physical foundation first. Everything else on court gets better as a result.
