Come on out have some fun with our instruction staff while learning proper technique, new skills and injury prevention. No matter your skill level, you will have fun, meet some new people, and improve your game. Space is limited - register now.
Non-members are welcome in adult clinics if there are still spots available within 10 days of a clinic’s start date. Non-members are considered guests of the club and will pay an additional $25.00 fee per clinic (one time fee for all sessions). See website for details.
Save the date - French Open Social June 10
Save the date for our next Social following the Women’s Final of the 2023 French Open on Saturday June 10 from Noon to 2 PM. This is a great opportunity to get into the swing of summer, meet other players, as well as our Pros and some of the Instructional Staff. Scores and on court dialogue en français seulement (how do you say deuce in French)?
We hope you will mark your calendar and join us.
Donate to Philpott Children’s Tennis Fund
We encourage the community to support the Doug Philpott Inner-City Children’s Tennis Fund. You can do this by purchasing a donation in our on-line store. You will receive a charitable receipt at the end of the year from the Fund.
Since 1991, the Philpott Children’s Tennis Fund has helped introduce Toronto’s inner-city children to tennis. Founded out of a desire to honour the memory of Doug Philpott – one of the great folk heroes of Canadian tennis – the Fund provides free lessons, from qualified coaches and instructors, to kids throughout Toronto’s diverse neighbourhoods. For more information, see our website.
