We've grown kid-sized tennis in Virginia from the ground up . . .

QuickStart Tennis of Central Virginia (QCV), an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) public charity, has taken the kid-sized QuickStart Tennis "play to learn" format to 27 formerly underserved counties in central and southside Virginia. Our goal is to create happy, healthy and active kids in the communities we serve.

We keep score!!! In September 2008 there was one "pilot" school in Albemarle County (Greer ES). We held a 10-year celebration at Greer in September 2018. Today there are 212 QuickStart schools with tennis in PE classes in 27 counties and 3 independent cities reaching 99,000 kids in central and southside Virginia!!! We have deepened our impact with BrightSTARS -- Tennis for Me! in a dozen schools so far. Plus we've taken tennis to PE classes in another 37 schools with 16,000 students in communities outside our service area.

What is QuickStart Tennis? QuickStart Tennis is a kid-sized, age-appropriate format that makes it easy for kids ages three and up to learn a lifelong sport. Tennis has always taught kids valuable character-building life skills like integrity, sportsmanship, dedication, determination and teamwork. With QuickStart Tennis, the teaching approach changed from traditional instruction to "play to learn" with a competency progression. Kids can experience success early on. QuickStart adds FUN fitness and conditioning activities that work on agility, balance, coordination, footwork and reaction time. QCV is helping create "play pathways" in the communities we serve to get kids playing tennis in PE classes, after-school and out-of-school. Kids have so much FUN with QuickStart that they don't even know they're learning, and they're learning a lot. QuickStart brings out the best in kids naturally.
