Indoor League Play

During the indoor season (October to April) one of the best ways to get high quality matches and to meet lots of people who play at your skill level, is to sign up for one of our in-house tennis leagues. Once registered, members are placed on a team in a position based on their caliber of play. With our Head Professional doing all the organizing, as well as providing the balls, all you need to do is show up and enjoy the matches. Our leagues include both singles and doubles play and run for seven to ten weeks during the fall and winter. At the end of each session, prizes are awarded to the top teams and the top players.

Men’s Evening League - Monday 6:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.
Ladies Evening League - Tuesday 6:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.
Ladies Competitive Day League (doubles only) Thursday 9:00 a.m. - 12 noon


Interclub Men’s and Ladies City League Competition – Outdoor League Play

These leagues, which run from April to June, are for Members who wish to represent our Club and compete against other Lower Mainland Tennis clubs. The teams range from intermediate to top level play. Members wishing to participate should contact the Tennis Professionals.

Mixed Team Tennis – Outdoor League Play

Just like our indoor leagues, this is a great way to get out and play. This is an outdoor league which runs during May and June.

Each league is made up of eight, four player teams. Each team is made up of 2 Women and 2 Men. Each player will play two, pro set doubles matches per evening.

Level 2.5 to 3.5 Monday 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Level 3.5 to 4.5 Thursday 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.


Drop-in Mixed Play

These drop-ins run for about 2 hours and are a great way to get out and hit a ball without any hassle. We invite any Playing Member who wants to pick up a game, to come down and play. They are for all levels, novice to the best players in our club. It is a great way to meet some new people to play with, it is free of charge, so be sure to come down and join in.

They run on selected Saturdays from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., throughout the indoor and spring months and from 10:00 a.m. to 12 noon on Wednesdays during the summer months. Russ is present to arrange and rotate matches.

"Hit List"

One of the challenges in every club is finding different ways to facilitate the desire of players, who wish to find new people of like caliber, to play with at times that work for their busy schedules. Our "HIT LIST’ is a binder filled with "Personal Profile Forms” listing your level of play, preferences, and availability. This provides players who wish to take part, a pool of players to call and draw from.

Adult Coaching Programs

  • Both private and semi-private lessons are available year round. Members are invited either to book a regular weekly time slot or to sign up on a casual basis as the need arises.
  • Going to camp? How about a week long camp of intensive tennis training? These popular camps called 'Hellweeks' are held during summer, Christmas and Spring break. They offer 5 days of tactical and technically specific workout sessions that last for 1 1/2 hours each day. There is a maximum of 4 per group. At the time of registration, players are asked to indicate their level of play and what they would like their lesson to focus on. If you are looking for more relaxed coaching with a lighter format, group sessions for 3 or 4 players are available.
  • For the Ladies who are serious about improving their competitive skills, there is City League Training. The focus is on Tactical, Technical and Mental development. Players train in groups of 4 from 1 to 2 hours weekly.
