The QuickStart Tennis format, one of the most significant moves ever to introduce tennis to youth, provides a way to bring kids 11 and under into the game by utilizing equipment, court dimensions, and scoring that is tailored to their age and size. The QuickStart Tennis play format is designed to help children find success from the very first swing. QuickStart Tennis appropriately scales down all aspects of regulation tennis—including equipment, court dimensions, and scoring—so that the game becomes specifically tailored to their age and size. The format is broken out into two age groupings, for children ages 11-under and for those who are 8-under, similar to models used successfully in other youth sports (such as youth baseball). Membership is not required to participate in lessons. Non-members will be charged the same fee. The Director of Racquet Sports reserves the right to direct class times based on sign-up numbers of all classes.

WHAT IS QUICKSTART TENNIS?
QuickStart Tennis is an exciting new play format for learning tennis, designed to bring kids into the game by utilizing specialized equipment, shorter court dimensions and modified scoring, all tailored to age and size. Here at CCAC we offer this program in a specialized class geared for ages 8-10 years old.
QuickStart Tennis uses equipment that is scaled to the size and ability level of young children. The net is 18 feet long and 2-foot, 9-inches in height.
Participants will play the best-of-three sets; the first to win four games wins a set. For the third set, the first player to win seven points wins the match. A match usually takes no longer than 20 minutes.
