We are excited to continue our partnership with the Edmonton Junior Tennis Society (EJTS). The EJTS is a non-profit society which is focused on introducing tennis to kids as a fun sport which can be enjoyed by players of all ages. They are affiliated with Tennis Canada and Tennis Alberta, and enjoy the support of local sponsors, offering affordable and accessible tennis programs at both indoor and outdoor facilities.
The EJTS coaches are Tennis Professional Association of Canada-certified instructors who are committed to Tennis Canada’s quality standards, working on skills development while emphasizing that tennis is most of all, FUN!

Labelling – all racquets and water bottles should be clearly labelled as several players will have identical or similar looking equipment. Youth racquets are required, tennis balls are provided.
