Homeschool QuickStart -- what a great idea!
There are over 33,000 homeschooled kids in Virginia. They ALL should be playing QuickStart! QCV wants to take kid-sized QuickStart Tennis to homeschooled kids in the 27 counties we now serve. Why QuickStart Tennis?
- Great physical activity for kids who are homeschooled
- Proven "play to learn" format
- Fitness & conditioning activities develop agility, balance, coordination, footwork and reaction time
- Parents can be trained to teach their children
- Well-suited for kids to play tennis with their parents and siblings
- Team-based approach for homeschool groups
- Tennis teaches kids integrity, dedication, determination, sportsmanship and teamwork
- It's FUN!
With portable nets or two chairs and a rope, QuickStart can be played just about anywhere including driveways, parking lots, basketball courts, blacktop areas and basements -- any hard surface with room for a 36-foot court. QuickStart's flexibility and QuickStart Tennis lesson plans make it possible to teach kids to play tennis without being a tennis pro. And it's FUN for both kids and parents!

QuickSTAR Joshua Johnson
Ten-year old Joshua is currently ranked #8 in the 10 & Under Boys Singles in the Mid-Atlantic Section. Joshua is homeschooled with his three siblings and has been playing tennis since he was three. He simply picked up a racquet and red foam ball while his Dad was teaching the older kids and he shadowed what they were doing. Next thing anyone knew, he was hitting topspin forehands off the fence. He started playing tournaments and winning at the age of six.
