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.

Note- WCRC has extra raquets on hand... however, we do encourage each participant to have their own racquet for their personal playing preference.

*Personal Water Bottle- Penty of fluids, preferably water, are needed during the hot summers. Temperatures can reach as high as 100 degrees on a mid 90 degree day on a tennis court.

If you are interested in playing MOVTA team tennis, there will be an additional charge of $10.00 per child required at the time of registration. For CURRENT MOVTA schedule and information, click the following link: http://tennislink.usta.com/Tournaments/TournamentHome/Tournament.aspx?T=139017
