Kid Zone Quickstart Tennis

KidZone Quickstart Tennis is a version of Progressive Tennis for kids widely used in France and Belgium where they developed some of the best tennis players in the world. The United States Association uses a similar system called Quickstart Tennis.

KidZone Quickstart Tennis breaks away from the traditional way of teaching tennis utilizing kids friendly equipment to ensure success and retention skills – smaller and lighter rackets, various types of balls depending on the progression level that the student is at, smaller nets, and smaller court size are all used to help students to play quickly and successfully.

KidZone Quickstart Tennis is the second component of KidZone Tennis. We packaged the USTA Quickstart Tennis into a 3 stage process with 4 progressions per stage. KidZone Quickstart Tennis is a complete tennis development system for children from the ages of 3 to 14. What we have created with KidZone Quickstart Tennis is a progressive path for kids to be successful in developing athleticism, tennis skills and healthy competitive skills and behaviors. This system was created to help kids to learn tennis correctly in a fun and friendly environment. Our staff members are trained and supervised carefully to teach our unique system.
