Quick Start Tennis

Quick Start Tennis is designed for very young children to begin learning and playing the game with everything scaled down to their size. We use bigger, softer, slower bouncing balls on courts down to half the size of regulation courts, lower nets and junior rackets to fit the child.

One of the biggest problems small children have with tennis is that everything happens too fast with balls bouncing past them or well over their heads. It's highly frustrating! In fact, the game is challenging enough for well trained tennis players! With this system the balls are easier to track, easier to hit and won't travel near as far or fast making the child's success rate much higher and the game much more enjoyable right from the start!

This "scaled down" tennis makes developing athletic and playing skills much easier and quicker than trying to do so with fast, high bouncing regulation balls, and on a court relative to the size of the kids. A regulation court is 78 feet long compared to the Level One 36 foot court and Level Two 60 foot court used in Quick Start!

Children will learn the fundamentals of hitting a tennis ball, along with how to play the game itself - correctly keeping score, sportsmanship, honesty and discipline. Not to mention getting some great exercise. All significant aspects of tennis!
