QuickStart Tennis
QuickStart Tennis is an exciting program designed to promote fun and success for young players by utilizing lower bounce compression balls, smaller racquets, and shorter courts. Emphasis is placed on hand-eye coordination, motor skill development, proper stroke technique, and fitness, as well as teamwork, sportsmanship, and court etiquette.

Red Ball (ages 4-6)
Using the QuickStart approach, children are taught using balls that bounce lower and don't move as fast so they are easier to hit. This allows kids to get to the ball and helps to develop optimal swing patterns. |
