QuickStart Tennis - Winter Session 1

Kindergarten–5th Grade | Beginner–Intermediate

Our QuickStart Development Program is designed for K–5 players of all skill levels. Whether your child is picking up a racquet for the first time or already rallying consistently, our coaching staff groups players by age and ability so every player is appropriately challenged.

Using the USTA QuickStart format—including Red, Orange, and Green low-compression balls, age-appropriate racquets, and modified courts—players develop their skills in a fun, active environment designed specifically for young players.

What We'll Work On

Players will develop:

  • Forehands and backhands

  • Serving and returning

  • Volleys and net play

  • Footwork and athletic movement

  • Hand-eye coordination and racquet control

  • Rallying and consistency

  • Scoring and sportsmanship

  • Singles and doubles point play

  • Fun games and competitive challenges

Our goal is to build strong fundamentals, confidence, and a love for tennis while keeping players moving and engaged.

Why QuickStart?

QuickStart uses modified equipment and age-appropriate court sizes to help young players rally sooner, experience more success, and learn proper tennis fundamentals. Whether your child's goal is to have fun, stay active, or eventually compete on school teams and in tournaments, QuickStart provides the foundation to continue progressing.
