USTA QUICKSTART

QuickStart tennis will be your child’s finest experience on a tennis court. A combination of fun combined with fundamentals will be the basis for your child’s tennis development. Like other popular junior sports, Quickstart stresses the importance of play and team competition. Tennis in the past has spent years teaching technique before they learn to play, by doing so you lose the window of opportunity to get them hooked on the game. The students will become motivated to improve and strive to succeed.

Level I Blue

Ages 5 and Under

Racket Size: 19” or 21”

Our Staff will introduce the fundamentals of tennis through age-appropriate drills and games that will keep your child engaged and motivated while learning and having fun. Teaching techniques include stretching and focus on motor skill development, eye-hand coordination, and sense of balance.

Level II Red

Ages 8 and Under

Racket Size: 19”, 21” or 23”

Ball: A foam ball or a very low compression ball moves slower, bounces lower and travels less distance

Level III Orange

Ages 10 and Under

Racket Size: 23” or 25”

Ball: A low compression ball moves a little faster and travels farther than the ball used with the younger group, but it still has a lower bounce than the original

Level IV Green

Ages 12 and Under

Racket Size: 25” or 26”
