QuickStart tennis is a new and exciting format for learning the game of tennis. The goal of the QuickStart Lessons is for kids ages 5-10 to build skills that enable kids to rally with a partner. USTA (United States Tennis Association) created this format that caters directly to young beginning tennis players. To make it easier for the young- sters to learn, the QuickStart tennis format changed the net size, the court size, the balls, the rackets and even the scoring system. The program is designed to help children succeed but also focuses on having fun through games, relays and instruction. Participants are asked to wear appropriate shoes, bring their racket and a water bottle. A limited number of rackets will be available for those without one. LESSON DESCRIPTION Ages 5 & 6: This age group will work on developing the hand-eye coordination necessary to ~l ilk . . ri improve tennis skills; ball control and large motor skills are a huge focus through games, drills and relays. :j rl~ Ages 7 & 8: This age group will focus on being able to rally back and forth over the net with ~~jr both forehands and backhands. Fun drills and games will help the children learn' , • ; _ .k how to control the ball. Ages 9 & 10: This age group will work on developing the skills needed both to rally back and forth over the net as well as the skills needed to play a mini tennis match. rt _ 'r , Make Ups: One make-up day is scheduled each week in case of class cancellation.
