Return the Love
Inspire access. Build legacy. Shape the future of tennis in Canada.
Tennis gives us more than a game. It builds confidence, resilience, belonging, and pride. From neighbourhood courts to the world stage, tennis has shaped generations of Canadians. Now, it’s our turn to give something back.
Return the Love is Tennis Canada’s national fundraising movement—an invitation to invest in access, equity, and opportunity for the next generation of players, leaders, and champions.
What It Means to Return the Love
Returning the love means ensuring tennis is accessible, inclusive, and thriving in every community across Canada.
Your support helps Tennis Canada:
- Open the court to children and youth who might otherwise never play
- Keep girls engaged in sport at the age they are most likely to drop out
- Protect and build community courts so tennis can grow locally
- Support future Canadian champions on their journey to the world stage
- Every gift creates real measurable impact.
Our focus areas
Access for Youth
Across Canada, too many young people face barriers to sport before they ever have a chance to discover what tennis can give them. Cost, confidence, limited access, and a lack of welcoming environments mean many youth—especially girls, newcomers, and those from underserved communities—step away or never step on court at all.
Your donation helps:
- Introduce tennis to youth who may not otherwise have access, through school and community-based programs
- Keep girls engaged during critical ages (11–19), when dropout rates are highest
- Provide psychosocial help, mentorship, and confidence-building support alongside athletic development
- Create inclusive environments where newcomers and underserved youth feel they belong on the court
Impact: More youth discovering tennis. More girls staying in the game. More confidence, belonging, and opportunity for the next generation.
Return the Love is more than a campaign. It’s a rallying cry for everyone who believes in the power of tennis to shape lives, communities, and a nation.
Every point begins with a serve.
But it’s the return that truly changes the game.
A return is resilience.
It’s momentum.
It’s possibility taking flight.
With your support, Tennis Canada can return even more:
Courts where communities can gather.
Racquets in the hands of every child.
Equity, opportunity, and Canadian champions of tomorrow.
Because the greatest returns aren’t made on Centre Court…
They’re made in neighbourhood parks.
In schoolyards.
In every child who steps up to the line for the very first time.
The game we love has already given us all so much —
Strength. Health. Belonging. Pride.
Now, it’s our turn, Canada.
Let’s return the love.
