QuickStart Tennis Day Darden Towe Park, May 30, 2009

June 19-July 31, 2010
QuickStart Tennis Program teaches kids tennis in a fun way, using smaller equipment, smaller court size, lower net, lower bouncing balls, simplified scoring, and emphasis on team work. Kids learn while playing, not standing in lines to be fed the ball. Scaling the game down to their size helps make the learning process easier and a lot more fun. Now any child ages 5-10 can start playing tennis almost immediately -- even if he or she has never picked up a racquet. Sponsored by Albemarle County Parks and Recreation.
