“I’ve been in the program since I was 10 years-old and it’s really a privilege to be part of such an amazing federation. To everyone in Canada, thank you for your support. You guys are amazing,” Bianca explained after winning Indian Wells.
It takes dedication, drive and investment to train to become a tennis champion:
- 12,480 hours of on-court training
- 5,760 hours in the gym
- 3,360 calls home
- 630 used strings
- 340 racquets
- 150 tournaments
Tennis in this country continues to grow, with more kids than ever picking up a racquet and falling in love with this great sport. And many of them dream of being No. 1 in the world!
More than a decade ago, Tennis Canada launched a high-performance training system in the hope of helping kids across the country realize that dream. From tennis programs in clubs to Regional Tennis Centres in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Montreal and soon to be Halifax; Tennis Canada works with coaches at the highest level. Once an athlete reaches 14 years of age, they may be invited to train full-time at Tennis Canada’s National Training Centre (NTC) in Montreal where they receive coaching, fitness training and an academic education – all the resources necessary to succeed at the top levels of the sport. All at little-to-no cost to the families, taking away that incredible burden from their parents.
Tennis Canada has recruited internationally-renowned coaches, physiotherapists and tutors to provide athletes with qualified staff to support them in all aspects of their development, including sport science and nutrition. This requires an investment by Tennis Canada of between $50,000 and $100,000 per year, for three to five years, for each athlete.
As a not-for-profit, Tennis Canada relies heavily on proceeds from the Rogers Cup tournaments in Toronto and Montreal as well as philanthropic donations to keep this high-performance system running. Less than 1% of our budget comes from government funds.
And we know the system is working! The world is talking about Canada’s stars. From Milos and Genie to Bianca and Félix, our system has produced some of the most exciting and promising players on the WTA and ATP Tours.
And, despite their young age, Bianca and Félix are ready to give back to the sport that has already given them so much. To help support this campaign…
Bianca and Félix have pledged to match every single donation made, dollar for dollar, up to $50,000 each!
And they would like to raise it before their first matches at Rogers Cup presented by National Bank on Tuesday, August 6!
That means your donation of $25 = $75; $100 = $300; $1,000 = $3,000! All to help Canada’s next Next Gen join Bianca and Félix on the world stage!
Help Canada’s juniors reach their dreams and get your donation matched by Bianca and Félix! Donate Now!
Meet Canada’s next Next Gen!
“We started talking about this when we were young teenagers here at the National Tennis Centre, that one day, we would become ambassadors like Milos and Vasek were for us. For me, to be in this position today, to be able to give back and be an example for others, it is something that is very important,” Félix said.
THANK YOU.
