QuickStart Tennis Format QuickStart Tennis is a new format to help kids ten
and under learn and play the game of tennis.
To make it easier for them, we changed a few things. The court sizes. The racquet sizes. The balls. The scoring system. Even the net height. Now any child between ages five and ten can start
playing tennis almost immediately-even if he or she
has never picked up a racquet before. And just like
other popular youth sports, QuickStart stresses the
importance of play and team competition. It's also
now part of the USTA Jr. Team Tennis league and can
be part of your existing programs as well. Which
means that even more kids will have the opportunity
to experience this new format, have fun playing with
their friends and develop skills that will become
the foundation of their game. QuickStart Tennis vs. Full Court Tennis Jorge Capestany, founder of TennisDrills.tv,
offers a profoundly revealing video comparing
the QuickStart format to Full Court Tennis
training for young players. Jorge Capestany is 1
of only 9 people worldwide that is a Master
Professional with both the USPTA and PTR.
