Stonebrook Racquet & Fitness Club recently received funding from the US Tennis Association to start a grass roots effort to identify and support our youngest tennis players. Called QuickStart Tennis, it is an exciting new play format for learning tennis.

QuickStart tennis is a scaled-down version of the adult game: different balls, smaller racquets, lower nets and shorter courts. Kids find success quickly and typically ask for more! For more information visit the USTA web site. The videos found here are also very helpful.

Stonebrook has a core group of tennis professionals, as well as parent volunteers, who are willing to come to area schools and run the program through PE classes. We are looking to do this now through the beginning of April. From those classes in the local schools, the team will identify the most promising candidates in our area and offer them the USTA scholarships for lessons at Stonebrook.”
