Fall Smashers Tournaments

Kendra Wicks | August 16, 2019

Smashers youth tennis tournaments are a great way to keep your child involved in tennis throughout the fall! They provide an opportunity for kids 10 and under to find themselves in the game through fun, low-pressure competition.

These events are designed to be as kid-friendly as possible by utilizing red, orange, and green tennis balls. These balls bounce lower, move slower through the air and are easier to hit, which allows for easier rallies and lowers frustrations while kids learn the basics of tennis.

Smashers tournaments are a part of the USTA Missouri Valley Youth Progression system, so children who participate in Smashers tournaments can win stars or trophies that allow them to progress to higher levels.
