Here at GSM we have adopted the USTA QuickStart Tennis concepts. QuickStart Tennis is a progressive approach to help children 10 & under learn to play the game and have fun! To make it easier for children 4 – 10 years old, a few things have changed including the court sizes, the racquet sizes, the balls, and even the net height. QuickStart is about fitting tennis to children the same way it is being done with other youth sports such as soccer and baseball where field sizes and equipment are adjusted based on age and physical size. By modifying the court dimensions, racquets, and balls, children will develop better technical and tactical skills.
GSM Junior Players between the ages of 11 – 18 will experience a fun, exciting, and competitive atmosphere with a high level of instruction. Repetitive drills develop muscle memory, improve tennis-specific movement, and increase agility. All programs, unless noted, will not exceed a 4/5:1 Player – Professional ratio. Whether your child is trying tennis for the first time or a seasoned tournament player, regardless of their age, we have a program to satisfy their needs.
