Introducing QuickStart Tennis this year. It's a new practice-and-play program to help kids ten and under learn the game with less frustration and faster results. To make it easier we've changed a few things - court sizes, racquet sizes, balls, scoring system, and even net height. The USTA has incorporated the QuickStart Tennis format into its flagship program, Jr. Team Tennis.
