2009 Program Updates
In 2009 we implemented new standards based on the QuickStart Tennis format.  This is about fitting tennis to kids based on age and physical size.  By modifying court dimensions, equipment, net height and scoring system coupled with a play component, kids will develop better technical and tactical skills.  When each of these elements is used collaboratively, kids will achieve early success and stay in the game.
This format will give kids the confidence and ability to cover the entire court, score points, and build an all-court game.  The court is shorter and narrower for two age groups:  8 & under (36' court) and 10 & under (60' court).  The net height is lower, also.
By putting the kids with similar physical ability and skill together, they have more fun while learning and developing new skills.
2012 Program Info
