Talent Identification

Talent ID is important to USTA Player Development, as QuickStart enables us to recruit and retain more young athletes.  When we try to identify talent at a young age, we are looking for three things: 1) Athletes that love to play and compete, regardless of their proficiency; 2) Athletes with advanced hand to eye coordination that translate to good racquet and ball control skills; and 3) Athletes who move well and go after every ball.
