After School at CES Our after school programs are over at 4:30 p.m. unless otherwise indicated. We ask that you pick your child up at that time. We allow a 5 minute grace period. If you arrive after the grace period you will be billed a $1.00 per minute late charge. Please be considerate! Please send a note with your child each week giving them permission to participate. Students will be dismissed to the café where they will be greeted by the instructor and escorted to the class location. For class cancellations please check our website at www.colchesterct.gov. We do what they do…If there is no school, there are no programs.
Total Tennis Grades 1 & 2 Tennis Anyone? Each class will begin with a different type of dynamic warm-up using the new USTA Quick Start format. We follow up with creative and fun coordination exercises that help balance as well as motor skill development. Following the warm-up, we will work on tennis specific drills and games that will aid in our initial goal which is to have the children rally cooperatively. Lastly and most importantly, we will discuss the value of
sportsmanship and how it relates to fun! This program is for grades 1 & 2 only! You may bring your own racquet or borrow a racquet. Tuesdays 3:15 - 4:30 p.m. CES Gym

What is Quick Start Tennis? Quick Start Tennis is a new format to help kids ten and under learn and play the game. To make it easier for them, a few things have been changed. The court sizes. The racquet sizes. The balls. The scoring system. Even the net height.
Now any child between ages five and ten can start playing tennis almost immediately-even if he or she has never picked up a racquet before.
Like other popular youth sports, Quick Start stresses the importance of play and team competition. It's also now part of the USTA Jr. Team Tennis league, which means that even more kids will have the opportunity to experience this new format, have fun playing with their friends and develop skills that will become the foundation of their game.
