Our recreational based junior programs run from June 21st - August 6th, 2010 and are designed to develop children from the ages of 4 - 18 in four categories.
QuickStart Tennis Comes to Burlington Tennis Club!
BTC is excited to introduce this progressive approach to learning and playing tennis for 4 - 10 year olds. This successful approach has been adopted from European countries such as France and Belgium. We will use a systematic progression of court size, balls, and racquets to modify age appropriate play. This will enable children to have more fun and make learning tennis easier. More skills are developed because play is slower, which allows serving, rallying, and scoring to occur between children with much less ball pick up. This encourages kids to play more often because they can play without the coach. Ultimately over time we will be able to develop tactical awareness, foot work, and movement patterns, decision making, and balance.Lastly players will be able to develop a variety of game styles and skills that better suit their personality. We look forward to making this fun and enjoyable for the kids!
