WTT/QuickStart Demo Day<br />
On Saturday, May 16, USTA <strong>Colorado</strong> hosted a World Team <strong>Tennis</strong>/QuickStart <strong>Tennis</strong><br />
Day. Players enjoyed a great day of quality tennis and a chance to compete in <strong>the</strong> WTT<br />
format. We would like to offer a special thank you to WTT Kansas City Explorers head<br />
coach Brent Haygarth and former top-40 WTA star Tara Snyder for making this<br />
a truly unforgettable event, and for sharing <strong>the</strong>ir insights on <strong>the</strong> world of<br />
professional and competitive tennis.<br />
But it wasn’t just a day for <strong>the</strong> grown-ups, as more than 40 kids<br />
(under 10) took <strong>the</strong> courts to try out <strong>the</strong> latest tennis format,<br />
QuickStart <strong>Tennis</strong> (see pages 22-23). Local tennis pro and<br />
USTA Intermountain Section President Frank Adams led a<br />
presentation of <strong>the</strong> format to parents while <strong>the</strong> kids got an<br />
up close look at why QuickStart is <strong>the</strong> new way to play<br />
for kids 10 and under.<br />
