quick start tennis format
If you don't know, quick start is a way of playing tennis for little kids, 10 and under. It implements presureless tennis balls, smaller nets and racquets.
I guess everyone in the world does this but the usa? Including rog? This is a very real thing. I guess in 2012 the usta is going to make all 10 and under tournaments on a 60ft court and 8s on a 48ft court. Parents of good 10 yr olds are going to go nuts I imagine.
The program really does work and our ytl at sparetime easily has 300 kids. I don't agree with juniors playing for a ranking on a smaller court. Just seems like another reason for a tennis parent to go nuts like in little league

Another crummy USTA idea. Why on earth would you have kids learning on a small court, then hold tournaments on them? Kids need to learn spatially how to use the length 78 ft and width 27 ft of a real court. Otherwise, serves are going to suffer from hitting half of a good form to get it in a court 30 ft. shorter.
I have taught kids to be able to get the ball in a regular court, without using underhanded serves or strange contraption motions. Building these small courts is going to cost money in two different sizes? [shaking head]

No building. They just lay down corners and some lines with rubber pieces
It works better than the blue painters tape the first time the usta rep came to indoors. That was a disaster outdoor in the wind. Lol I had kinda forgot about that, I am going to remind my director

Well, at least that's a relief. But blue painter's tape. That doesn't stick much. lol
