Rogers First Set is Tennis Canada's national participation program, developed and implemented in collaboration with Provincial and Territorial Tennis Associations. There are four program pillars: Try, Learn, Play, and Compete. Designed to introduce new individuals to tennis and retain athletes in the sport, the program focuses on the Try, Learn, and Play pillars.

ROGERS FIRST SET U6 CURRICULUM

U6 TENNIS, designed for children 3-5 years old, is the first step in the Active Stage part of Tennis Canada’s new Whole Player Development Pathway. Designed to be delivered on or off the court, the U6 curriculum is built on the two First Set principles:

  • Player Identity: helping players adopt the ‘I am a tennis player’ identity, and
  • Player-Centered: activities fit for the child, rather than squeezing the child into the activities.

U6 TENNIS will jumpstart players’ progress with general and tennis-specific games that will work on physical literacy (agility, balance, coordination), as well as emotional, mental and social skills. Activities are set up in a way that encourages active behaviour and discourages waiting in line.
