Quickstart Tennis is play format that has been scaled down to fit the size and ability level of young children. Eight and under children will play on a court that is 36 feet long and 18 feet wide. They will be using a foam ball or a very low compression ball that moves slower, bounces lower and travels less distance. The QuickStart Tennis format works by getting kids into the game immediately. Within the first hour of stepping onto the court they are actually playing the game! Scaling the game down to their size helps make the learning process easier and a lot more fun. Children can experience the success, fun and fitness of tennis with the QuickStart format in a very short time.
