FOUNDER

I am so proud of the fun our team creates for the kids. At the same time, we provide enormous benefits where kids learn all the basic skills so they can be active and healthy for life. They participate on a team, playing matches each week and learn amazing life skills that will change their lives in such a positive way. There is not a better combination that provides physical, social, intellectual and emotional well-being!

In order to run these amazing programs, we rely on donations, sponsorship and grants. They are all extremely important in helping us change the lives of kids one community at a time. Please help us by providing the support we need to continue this amazing programming. Donations can be made through Canada Helps on this website.

For every $50 donated, a child receives valuable life skills, tennis lessons, team tennis, and an opportunity to become healthy and active for life. Physical activity plays a major role in reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety, in helping with stress management and improving self esteem. 

Our new fundraising program is our spring collection of bracelets--all hand made just for you. We hope you enjoy them. Please look under fundraise to find the selection and order form,

We are a Community Tennis Association and use our courts for very important community programs for kids. However, when we aren't using the courts, we want to open them up for the community to enjoy. As this is one of our fundraising programs, we ask for $150 per family and $60 per adult for the season. You can donate right on our website once you complete this registration form. We will then send you shoe tags and the access code to the courts. ​

Have a wonderful season on the courts!
