Deck the Halls with Rackets and Balls
AC tennis players – who are making their lists and checking them twice – might consider tennis lessons or equip- ment for deserving tennis players on their list. Any of the pros can offer advice on rackets for different skill levels and playing styles. The Tennis Office carries several top brands of rackets to investigate for a personal wish list or as a gift. Gift certificates for group classes or private instruction make great stocking stuffers. Either way, it’s a “win win” for someone on the list who’s been extra good.

What is Quick Start?
Quick Start was introduced at the 2007 U.S. Open. It is a new play format scaled to size for younger players. It is designed and structured for youngsters to learn, rally and play in a way that is both enjoy- able and rewarding. Ten-and-under tennis works to get children involved in the game immediately. Scaling the game down to their size helps make the learning process easier and more fun. Within the first hours of stepping on the court, young players are able to play the game, rally with one another, move around the court and have fun. Shorter and narrower courts give young players the confidence and ability to cover the entire court. Younger players have trouble controlling full-sized rackets because they are too long and heavy and the grips are too large. Ten-and-under rackets are proportionate in length and weight, and the grips fit smaller hands. After being introduced by the USTA,
Quick Start has been adopted by clubs and facilities throughout the United States. The International Tennis Federation has also adopted a variation of the same program. MAC introduces a Quick Start court and instruction in the Mighty Mites tennis classes. Classes are offered Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Be sure to look online at
theMAC.com or check out the Winter Class Guide in this issue of The Winged M.
