Quick Start Tennis
Instructor: Ken Marisseau
QuickStart Tennis play format takes a new and better approach to introducing kids to the game. Balls are lower in compression;
they bounce lower and don't move as fast so they are easier to hit. This allows kids time to get to the ball and helps them develop optimal swing
patterns. Racquets are sized for small hands, and the courts are smaller and easier to cover. All that equals more fun and less frustration.
