Children earn medals by demonstrating certain stroke and playing skills. Just like belts in Karate, every time a child earns a Star or Medal it builds their confidence and self-esteem.
Tennis can be a challenging sport to learn for a person of any age, but to a small child, it can truly be daunting. There's this tiny ball to focus on and a huge court to master. It could be quite a turnoff to a child because it may all seem quite overwhelming, and getting that little ball all the way over that net to the other side can seem like an impossible task.
QuickStart allows a child to engage fully in tennis and have some success much more quickly than traditional lessons on a full court. This format will more likely help to foster a lifelong love for the game of tennis (which is what we tennis bums hope to pass on to others). Not to mention, QuickStart is fun!
