Quick Start Tennis & Advanced Quick Start Tennis (Ages 4-7)
Cost: 7 Week Session $170 Until 12/27/24 $180.00 After 12/27/24
Quick Start Tennis is designed to introduce children between the ages of 4 and 7 to the game of tennis in a fun and rewarding way. The basic concept behind Quick Start Tennis/10 & Under Tennis (scaled down nets, smaller racquets, low compression balls & smaller courts) follows the successful precedent established in t-Ball (the kid sized version of baseball) and GLM (graduated length method) skiing. In these programs, the elements and equipment of the sport were adapted to fit the needs of children athletes. By matching the game to their size and athletic ability, Quick Start Tennis allows children to learn quickly and to have FUN and success playing the game. Because they have such a good time, children love their first tennis experience and want to continue playing. Fun Unlimited also offers special 10 & Under Red Ball and Orange Ball Tennis Jamborees throughout the year!!!
