QUICkSTART TENNIS Quickstart tennis works by getting kids into the game immediately Within the first hour of stepping onto the court they are actually playing rallying and mov-ing around and having fun We scale the courts down to their size which gives the kids the confidence and ability to cover the entire court We use junior size rac-quets that fit smaller hands and makes it easier to control Quickstart tennis en-ables kids to have a fun experience early on in the learning process They build confidence and become more enthusias-tic about playing

QUICkSTART TENNIS Quickstart tennis works by getting kids into the game immediately Within the first hour of stepping onto the court they are actually playing rallying and mov-ing around and having fun We scale the courts down to their size which gives the kids the confidence and ability to cover the entire court We use junior size rac-quets that fit smaller hands and makes it easier to control Quickstart tennis en-ables kids to have a fun experience early on in the learning process They build confidence and become more enthusias-tic about playing
