Tennis is noted as one of the top activities for physical fitness due to the full body workout it provides

Urban Youth / Inner-City

Part of Tennis BC's role as the provincial association is leading through philanthropy and ensuring all youth have an opportunity to try the sport of a lifetime. The Urban Youth Tennis Academy program is a free introductory program delivered in cities/municipalities that have high rates of financially challenged families.

Select Wines generously runs the annual Piper Heidsieck Invitational event, which net proceeds help fund this great program for inner-city youth.

Big thank you also goes to the 2009 Women's team Champions of the VLTBC Legacy Clay Court Tournament, who with their winnings chose to support this year's UYTA.

2010 UYTA camps are scheduled for July 16th, July 23rd, July 30th, Aug 6th and Aug 13th at Britannia Centre.

Tennis BC provides the chosen communities with certified Instructors, racquets, balls, and mini-nets (if required) and multiple 2.5 hour lessons. The young participants learn basic tennis skills, hand-eye coordination skills as well as teamwork and sportsmanship values.
