WELCOME TO THE CBSC TENNIS PROGRAM!

The CBSC Tennis Committee and coaches are excited to offer a summer program of progressive tennis lessons, fun activities and club tournaments for players of all ages and skill levels. We’re also thrilled to announce our Head Coaches, Courtney Carmichael and Emma Kolousek, and Tennis Coaches Kate Patuel, Adam Armstrong, Stella Hunka, Sydney Apelo Cruz, Duncan Miller, Oliver Botelho, Chloe Miller, Maysen Apelo Cruz, Owen Good, Hayden Carmichael, Caitlyn Skleryk, Carys Hunka, Charlie Cranston and Rowan Hartshorne.

WHAT IS PROGRESSIVE TENNIS? Progressive Tennis introduces the sport of tennis in a fun and interactive way and ensures rapid success for young players. Using modified tennis balls, racquets, nets and courts, young players are properly equipped to enjoy rallies and learn the fundamentals of the game early on. Skills are developed much quicker, allowing for an easy transition to full court tennis. Tennis Canada fully endorses Progressive Tennis.
