QuickStart Tennis, Ages 10 and under The QuickStart Tennis format works by getting kids into the game immediately. Within the first hour of stepping onto the court, kids are actually playing the game, rallying with one another, moving around and having fun. With QuickStart, the shorter and narrower courts give kids the confidence and ability to cover the entire court. Junior racquets are proportionate in length and weight and have the grips that fit smaller hands, making it easier to control. And balls that bounce at a height equal to kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; playing abilities allows for better and longer rallies and allows them to build all court games. By being introduced to this style of play from the start, your kids will gain confidence by seeing their own immediate progress which will make them more enthusiastic about continuing to play and improve.
