10 and Under Tennis

Do you have a child age 10 or under who wants to learn to play tennis? USTA has introduced the 10 & Under Tennis format to make it easy and fun for smaller kids to learn the game. It's even fun for parents!

USTA launched the 10 & Under Tennis Pathway program in Charlottesville, VA on May 7, 2011. Visit the Charlottesville 10U Tennis Pathway website for more information on the program, and check out photos from the event at quickstartcentral.org!

10 & Under Tennis is an exciting new play format for learning tennis, designed to bring kids into the game by utilizing specialized equipment, shorter court dimensions and modified scoring, all tailored to age and size. It is divided into two different levels-- ages 8 and under and ages 10 and under.

It's the fast, fun way to get kids into tennis-- and keep them playing.
