Junior Program 2009

The tennis club is committed to promoting and supporting junior players in our community. Emphasis is placed on good sportsmanship, respect for themselves and other players and above all, enjoying the game.

Junior Program:

Georgina Price is the 2008 Junior Program Co-Ordinator and welcomes all 12-18 year old tennis players to the Comox Valley Tennis Club 2008 Juniors Program. The program will run for six weeks beginning May 6. This season will be expanded from last year to two sessions per week, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30-5:00.

On Tuesdays there will be the usual short warm-up run and stretch, mini-tennis, skill lessons and drills. On Thursdays, there will be about 30 minutes of tennis-specific strength and balance exercises, followed by an hour of playing tennis games with miscellaneous and enthusiastic senior tennis players. The Thursday games will provide the juniors with an opportunity to learn rules, strategy, and perhaps meet some people who would enjoy playing with them socially outside of lessons. Tennis balls are provided.

Hope to see you all there. The program fee is $30.00 and includes Tennis BC membership.
