Upcoming 2009 Fall Junior Team Tennis Leagues
|
We are continuing our very successful Junior Team Tennis Leagues in September. You can learn to play tennis in these novice leagues with your friends! The SCTA Junior Team Tennis program uses USTA's modified format called QuickStart Tennis. Our age groups are generally 5-7 years of age, 8-10 years of age and 11 to 14 years of age. The two younger flights play short court – in the service boxes with the baseline being the service line. We use transitional equipment, large foam balls (or red felt pressureless balls) and play in teams of six. Each weekend league match runs about an hour and includes 3 ten-minute sets against another team. The season runs for 6 weeks. In the older age group, they play using 3/4 of the court and a slightly faster ball. They play modified sets of doubles with substitutions allowed after the third game.
We are looking for team coaches and team parents to help with this nonprofit league. Please make sure you talk to the commissioner and tell them that you want to be involved. Have fun with your kids!
Please look at registering your kids after August 1st at www.quickscores.com/scta. You can find even more information in our programs section. Our current locations for Fall are in Gold River, Folsom, and two locations in Elk Grove. Also, West Sacramento Park and Recreation & Sunrise Recreation and Park District will also be running these leagues in West Sacramento and in Antelope.
Everyone plays, everyone has fun, and everyone wins!
