Pictured above are some of the participants in the Sherin Custer Rookie NET, which was held last Thursday, June 24, 2010 at the Fremont High School Tennis complex.

There were 14 entries in the 11 & older division. They played a round robin non-elimination format.

There were nine who played in the 9 & under division. They played a round robin non-elimination QuickStart format.

It looks like they were having a great time. Thanks to all who participated and all who helped run it.

The Fremont Family YMCA hosting their 1st annual Fremont QuickStart 8/10/12 & Under Tennis Tournament.

The tournament will be held December 12, 2009 from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. Registration deadline is Friday Dec. 4. Players will play a minimum of three matches and will be limited to one singles event.

WHAT IS QUICKSTART? The QuickStart Tennis format is about fitting tennis to kids based on age and physical size. By shortening the court dimensions, equipment (rackets and balls), net height and scoring system coupled with a play component, kids will develop better technical and tactical skills. When each of these elements is used together, kids will achieve early success and stay in the game. To give kids the confidence and ability to cover the entire court, score points and build an all-court game, the court is shorter and narrower for both age groups. The QuickStart Tennis format divides kids into two ages groups: the first is 8-and-under; the second is 10-and-under. We will also offer a 12 and under division. By putting kids with similar physical and social skills together, they have more fun while learning and developing skills.
