The program also includes QuickStart Tennis: a fun way for 10U players to learn and progress faster. It uses shorter courts, lower compression balls, and smaller rackets.
Adult Rec Tennis
This program is reserved for participants 18+. This includes players of similar levels and will allow players to learn and improve their overall game in a fun group setting!
