2010 QuickStart Summer Academy
Weekly from June 14 - August 27
What is QuickStart Tennis?
QuickStart is a method of teaching tennis which has been used for years in Europe. Pros on tour today, including Roger Federer, were taught using this program. For young people to be attracted to and succeed in a sport, the equipment, playing area, and competitive structure need to be appropriate.
QuickStart tennis includes 6 specifications, including age, court size, racquet length, ball weight and speed, net height and scoring format. This enables juniors to practice and play real tennis to scale and allow them to play and learn at the same time as opposed to the traditional model of learning skills before playing the game. Since rallying and playing is much more fun than standing in a line children will want to learn the game and develop the skills necesary.
Daily Activities Include:
- Stroke Production
- Hand Eye Coordination
- Footwork and Agility Game
- Snacks
- Fun and Prizes
*Highlights Include - Watermelon Wednesday, Game Day Friday, Pros vs Joes, Dodgeball, Kickball, Singles and Doubles Tournaments, Video Analysis, Water Ice Breaks, and Team Matches.
When:
Monday - Friday from 9:00am -10:30am
Rates:
