**NEW** QUICK START CAMPS for Ages 7-12

Quickstart Tennis Camps introduce the new way to play tennis for kids 10 and under. The Quickstart tennis format utilizes six specifications. These specifications put children together in physical, emotion and social age groupings that are developmentally appropriate. They also include age, courtside, racquet length, ball, net height and scoring.

With shorter nets, low compression balls and smaller court sizes kids now have a better way of being successful. The kids can rally quicker and find themnselves hitting balls in their strike zone.
