Tennis Alberta supports organizations and communities across the province in delivering quality programming for players of all types of players. Many of these initiatives are developed by Tennis Canada and delivered by Tennis Alberta alongside the other Provincial and Territorial Tennis Associations (PTTAs) across the country. These programs range from introductory clinics, to school-based programs, to recreational competitions, and more.
We partner with your organization to plan and deliver events. Our team provides support at every stage, from initial planning and promotion to on-site execution. We can also provide equipment and coaches where required, depending on location and availability.
Interested in hosting an event or want to chat with our team? Contact info@tennisalberta.com with your organization name and the programs you are interested in.
