About Youth Tennis.

Youth Tennis is a modified version of tennis specifically designed for younger and smaller children.  Taught worldwide, it is the USTA’s approved method of learning for kids under 10 years of age.  For Youth Tennis, kids play on shorter courts with lower nets, smaller racquets and slower-moving, lower-bouncing balls.  This format addresses one of the most intimidating scenarios for young children learning to play tennis; playing on adult-sized courts with the same oversized and unwieldy equipment that their parents use, and using the same complicated scoring system.  This combination can cause children to lose interest without ever really playing and experiencing the game, much less learning the skills necessary to succeed.  With Youth Tennis, kids play tennis made just for them, so that they have a great time and want to keep playing and improving.
