QuickStart Tennis is for children who are new to the game or who need additional instruction to rally using groundstrokes, volleys and serves. QuickStart Tennis takes a new approach to introducing kids to the game by using fun sized courts, nets, racquets and balls. The lighter low compression balls bounce lower, which helps develops proper techniques. All students are advised to purchase a 21-25 inch tennis racquet (typically 4-6 = 21", 7-8 = 23", 9-10 = 25").
