Funded jointly by Tennis Canada and Rogers, the $5.6 million program will make year-round tennis a reality for Canadians and help foster increased participation amongst youth. The objective is to build 160 year-round courts at up to 30 facilities by 2029. For each project, Rogers generously provides $200,000 of seed money.
The investment addresses the fact that, when the program initially launched, Canada fell behind other leading tennis nations in providing access to the sport 12 months a year, with only 750 publicly accessible covered courts across the country. That’s equal to one year-round court for every 50,000 people.
