USTA QuickStart Tennis (Children Ages 5-8)

Skyhawks has teamed with the United States Tennis Association (USTA) to create a new format to help kids learn and play tennis. The QuickStart program uses age-appropriate, modified equipment to create a successful learning environment. The court, racquets and nets are smaller, and the balls are foam or low compression. All coaches are trained by USTA professionals.

Each child will receive a T-shirt, merit award and a one-year Junior USTA membership. This membership includes a one-year subscription to SMASH Magazine, access to USTA leagues and tournaments, preferred ticket access to member events, and savings on numerous other items.
