QuickStart Stars
The USTA QuickStart Tennis format works by getting kids into the game immediately. Within the first hour of stepping onto the court, they are actually playing the game, rallying with one another, moving around and having fun. We use transition balls that bounce at a height equal to kids' playing abilities. This allows for better and longer rallies and allows them to build all-court games.
Future Stars
This clinic is split into three different ability levels. Beginning on court one we use the USTA QuickStart format, but the difficulty level increases and more points are played. On court two we begin using traditional balls and work on transitioning to the new balls and the juniors
stroke production. On court three the players start playing more points as we begin preparing the juniors to play matches and eventually, tournaments.
Super Stars
This clinic is for juniors who are competing in district and sectional tournaments as well as competing on high school teams. The focus in this clinic is on tactics, strategy and some stroke production. We work to develop a core group of juniors who can compete against one another as well as travel together to tournaments and other competitive events. The last 30 minutes of this clinic is reserved for conditioning drills, designed to help increase foot speed, agility, and stamina.

This fall and winter Hempfield Rec Center will be offering a great opportunity for all junior tennis players to learn how to play tennis matches, or to hone their competitive skills. Match play will be split between the 10 and under format and traditional tennis format.
