FACTSHEET

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. It is divided into
two different levels-- ages 8 and under and ages 10 and under.

It's the fast, fun way to get kids into tennis-- and keep them playing.

Racquets
For an adult player to succeed at tennis, racquet control is essential. Same goes for kids. But since kids are
smaller than adults, kids have trouble controlling full-size racquets. Kids need racquets that are proportionate in
length and weight and have a grip that fits their smaller hands.

Balls
Kids need a ball that's sized and paced to their playing abilities. Each age group, therefore, uses a ball better
suited to their size and unique playing ability.
Court Dimensions
QuickStart Tennis uses equipment that is scaled to the size and ability level of young children. Eight-and-under
children will play on a court that is 36 feet long and 18 feet wide.
