The USTA, along with industry partners including USPTA, TIA, and PTR, have taken steps to bring tennis to children aged 10 & under in a more fun and dynamic way. This collaborative effort has resulted in the development of a new format that will get more kids playing the game, developing better skills, and staying longer.

The QuickStart coaching resource outlines practice sessions and drills specifically designed for improving the skills of 5-6 year olds, and all while having fun!
