Begin and Grow as a Tennis Official
Tennis Canada's goal is to train high-quality officials and to build a system that provides an opportunity to pursue officiating as both a passion and a profession, thereby creating a pathway from grassroots to high performance. Clinics aren’t just to introduce aspiring officials to the profession, but to allow current officials to advance their certification and career.
