QuickStart Tennis
QuickStart Tennis is a relatively new format to help kids learn to play and be successful with the game. Students are successful with this program due to USTA-regulated age-specific court sizes, net heights, racket sizes, reduced bounce tennis balls, and scoring system. QuickStart stresses the importance of play and team competition. This new tennis format is tailor-made for kids and is now part of USTA Jr Team Tennis.
