Welcome to QuickStart Tennis of Central Virginia

We're growing tennis in central Virginia from the ground up . . .

QuickStart Tennis of Central Virginia (QCV) is taking the USTA's new QuickStart Tennis format to 21 underserved counties in central Virginia in which there is no significant public tennis tradition. QCV intends to change that. Building on QuickStart's success in Charlottesville/Albemarle and six nearby counties, we plan to go where no QuickStart Tennis ball has ever gone before. We're going to be the "tennis greenhouse" in central Virginia. Tennis -- it all starts with QuickStart!

The QCV Mission
QCV is an all-volunteer, grassroots Community Tennis Association (CTA) dedicated to promoting, developing and growing QuickStart Tennis in 21 counties and one independent city in central Virginia. Unlike most CTAs, which focus on a limited local area and offer a wide variety of established USTA programs, we are targeting a wide area with a concentrated goal of introducing the new QuickStart Tennis format.


Service Area: Counties: Albemarle, Amelia, Brunswick, Buckingham, Charlotte, Charlottesville (City), Culpeper, Cumberland, Dinwiddie, Fluvanna, Greene, Greensville, Louisa, Lunenburg, Madison, Mecklenburg, Nelson, Nottoway, Orange, Powhatan, Prince Edward, Rappahannock

At QCV we feel a little bit like pioneers or missionaries taking the message of the "sport for a lifetime" into new territories, but we're having a lot of fun spreading QuickStart Tennis all around.

What is QuickStart Tennis? QuickStart Tennis is the USTA's new format for teaching kids the "sport for a lifetime." Tennis has always taught kids valuable character-building life skills like integrity, sportsmanship, dedication, determination and teamwork. QuickStart has changed the teaching approach from traditional instruction to "play to learn" and added fitness and conditioning activities that work on agility, balance, coordination and reaction time. Kids have so much fun with QuickStart that they don't even know they're learning, and learning a lot. QuickStart brings out the best in kids naturally.

QCV is a member of the USTA, Tennis Industry Association and Center for Nonprofit Excellence.
