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