The Wanless Board will follow the City of Toronto’s protocols to aid in helping to keep our members, staff, and community safe and healthy when using our facility. Modifications to these programs will be posted and communicated to registrants:

One of Toronto’s best-known Junior Tennis programs is run by our Head Pro, Arthur Wolf (Tennis Canada – Certified) Coach 2 and Club Pro 3, who will be returning for his 28^th season with his team of certified instructors and assistants.

At Wanless Tennis, our pathway to success uses the principles of Progressive Tennis in all of our lesson programs. The program design includes a six-to-one student-to-instructor ratio target, and only qualified certified instructors are used.

Tennis Clinics and Dates for 2021

At Wanless, we offer clinics that are customized for different skill levels of our junior members. We believe in building strong tennis skills and sportsmanship from a young age and nurturing this skillset through each level – from Tiny Tykes through Intermediate levels to High Performance. Learn more about the different levels on our Progressive Tennis page.

The cost of each clinic is $145.

All of the details for each of the clinics are outlined in the tabs below, including duration, days and times for the different levels.

TINY TYKES – ages 4 to 5 using red balls
TYKES – ages 6 to 7 using red balls
NOVICE – ages 7 to 9 using orange balls
INTERMEDIATE – ages 10 and up using green dot balls
ADVANCED – using yellow balls
HIGH PERFORMANCE – using yellow balls

Please note that the Saturday Morning Fun Program is not being offered this year. Should you find your program is sold out please email the clubhouse with your preferred clinics so we can determine demand for additional classes.
