Be One of the First in Colorado to Get Your Students POPPIN’
USTA Colorado is excited to host a POP Tennis training – for tennis professionals. The training is free, and for those you who are USPTA members, you’ll receive 1.25 continuing education credits hours.
The 411 on POP Tennis
POP Tennis is a shorter version of tennis played with a special racquet/paddle and green ball on a 60’ court. The rules are the same as tennis. In POP Tennis, players get one underhand serve, rallies last longer, and there’s a little less running than traditional tennis – yet it’s a super workout, and great for a player’s traditional tennis game.
