Tennis Alberta, in collaboration with Tennis Canada, is celebrating the inaugural Tennis Month in Canada.
The month-long celebration of tennis aims to inspire people of all ages and abilities across the country to participate in fun tennis events in their community. Additionally, Rogers First Set, a program dedicated to introducing tennis to youth and families across Canada, will be staging “Try Events” in select areas throughout the month.
The initiative seeks to make tennis more accessible to Canadians from all walks of life. By offering accessible and supervised public activities at various locations, Tennis Canada and the PTTAs aim to reduce any barriers that prevent people from trying tennis.
Those participating in a Tennis Month in Canada event are encouraged to share photos on social media with the hashtags #TennisMonth and #IPlayTennis.
