Upcoming Smashers Tournaments
Smashers tournaments provide an opportunity for kids 10 and under to find themselves in the game through fun competition.
These events are designed to be as kid-friendly as possible with features such as red, orange, and green tennis balls. These balls bounce lower, move slower through the air and are easier to hit. Kids tennis racquets are also sized for small hands and courts are smaller and easier to cover. This allow for easier rallies and lowers frustrations as kids begin learning tennis.
