Facilities

This is Tennis Canada’s innovative grassroots approach to achieve affordable and accessible year-round recreation.

Tennis is one of the fastest growing sports in Canada but unfortunately its growth is limited to the summer. With only 10% of Canada’s courts being covered to allow for year-round play, thousands of communities across Canada do not have access to tennis for the majority of the year.

Whether you are a recreation leader in your municipality or a community tennis champion, Tennis Canada wants to work with you! Understanding that investing in sport infrastructure is often a priority for municipalities but difficult to fully fund, Rogers has partnered with Tennis Canada to invest in year-round community tennis courts. To learn more about bringing year-round tennis to your community read about our Strategy below or contact us at coveredcourts@tenniscanada.com.
