A mini-revolution is brewing in North America. The approach is called “Quick Start Tennis”. It is imported from European countries such as France and Belgium where it was used to successfully develop players like Justine Henin and Oliver Rochus. The program uses a systematic progression of court sizes, balls, and racquets, to scale the game down to an appropriate level for 5-10 year olds.
Modified racquets and balls are not new. The equipment has been around for a while, as the “graduated length” concept. Coaches have used bits and pieces for years seeing the advantage from the perspective of success, fun and safety. The difference this time is that all these elements have been brought together.
The power of the quick start tennis system is that it allows the players to play quickly and successfully. The philosophy is that tennis is a great fun game and the quicker and more skillfully a player can play the more fun it is. Each stage not only has specific equipment to aid success, but particular skills to develop as well. The coach’s job is to get them to play and help them play better.
