10ANDUNDERTENNIS
10ANDUNDERTENNIS (formerly QuickStart Tennis) was introduced in 2007 by the USTA and is become a huge success in a very short time.

10ANDUNDERTENNIS is designed to get younger players playing faster and understanding the game of tennis in a fun and encouraging atmosphere. 10ANDUNDERTENNIS uses smaller racquets, lower comprssion balls and a smaller court. The results are amazing with younger kids developing their skills faster and having a lot of fun. More>>
