Burlington

It is wonderful to see everybody back for the new 2017 - 2018 academy

year. There is a buzz of excitement in the air as parents, players and

coaches look forward to an exciting year at school and on the tennis

court. Both clubs have gone though extensive refurbishing - Cedar

Springs' new ownership has done tremendous work upgrading the club

in Burlington, and Toronto Tennis City has recently completed

extensive improvements as well.

Most of our competitive players are getting back on track, after a

welcome short break at the end of the summer : while our new

International Morning program has started, and it is great to see several

of our younger players also committing themselves to intensive on-

court and fitness training in the mornings before school.

Our progressive programs are "through the roof " in terms of attendance, which seems to be

reflecting the growing interest in tennis generally.

Congrats to all our players who qualified for the various age groups Nationals as we continue to

produce players that are performing excellently at the national level - including a NATIONAL

CHAMPION (see highlights below) with fourteen year-old Rachel Kryzak winning the National

U16 Championships.Several of our younger players also performed well at the recent U10

Provincials which we hosted at the Burlington Tennis Club, and the Super Series event at

Toronto Tennis City.

Greetings!

Doug Burke
