Advantage QuickStart Tennis is excited to partner with NY Edge to bring tennis to after school programs throughout the city!

In each session, we will focus on a different “ingredient” of storytelling such as: world-building, characters, plot/drama, drawing, coloring, writing, etc. As a group, we’ll decide on each element of the story then put the pieces together to create a cohesive, children’s picture book.

Our programs are built on youth development principles, and inspired by Montessori principles and Reggio Emilia practices. We have workshops that fit into the NYS scope and sequence for all grade levels but our classes take a unique spin and offer content and projects most teachers aren’t doing in their classroom. Our team of progressive educators seeks to foster youth exploration and build a sense of community with each unique group we work with. We build our own culture and ensure that kindness and tolerance are at the forefront of everything we do. Youth voice and choice are central to every activity. Our arts-based activities are always "process over product", giving youth space to problem solve and create their work. Educators guide youth to find their own answers and determine how they want to work with the materials available. Our classes rarely have issues with behavior and we know this has to do with the DNA of our classes. Not only are youth highly engaged in project work but they feel a sense of belonging and safety in the class. Cost: $270/workshop
