Junior Tennis Spring Class Schedule - April 5 - June 13
The A.C. Nielsen Tennis Center utilizes “The Quick Start Tennis” program. The principle of Quick Start is to get children playing quickly and appropriately through the use of modified equipment, making the court and equipment smaller, ball slower and considering the needs and development stages of children at different ages. Every child, regardless of age, deserves the best possible instruction, to maximize their potential to play.

For more information about the program go to the United States Tennis Association (USTA) web site at www.usta.com, and click on Play Now!
