QUICKSTART PROGRAMME

The "Quickstart Programme" for beginners is a tailored approach to introducing new players to tennis in a fun and accessible way. This format uses softer, lower pressure balls and modified equipment to reduce the learning curve and make the game more enjoyable and less intimidating for adult beginners.

Introduction to tennis basics

The "Quickstart Programme" starts with an introduction to the basics of tennis, including grip, stance, and swing technique. Participants will learn the proper form for forehands, backhands, volleys, and serves through guided instruction from certified coaches.

Soft ball usage

Unlike traditional tennis balls, the "Fast Start Program" uses soft balls to reduce ball speed and bounce, making it easier for beginners to change and control the ball. These balls are gentler on the body and allow players to concentrate on developing their skills without fear of being overwhelmed by the pace of the game.

Modified court size

The "Quickstart Programme" often utilizes modified court dimensions to suit beginners. This can include smaller court sizes to reduce the distances players need to cover, allowing for longer rallies and faster skill development.

The "Quickstart Programme" for beginner adults offers a welcoming and supportive environment for individuals looking to learn and enjoy tennis at their own pace. By focusing on skill development, fun, and community building, this format aims to inspire participants to embrace tennis as a lifelong activity.
