Club Membership

Tennis BC, in partnership with Sport BC insurance providers, offers a significantly reduced insurance premium to member clubs, facilities, and societies. Coverage and premiums are effective as of April 6, one year to date.

Tennis BC, in partnership with Tennis Canada, offers a membership registration and rankings system for juniors, adults, and seniors participating in Provincial and National tournaments.

Clubs receive a license from Tennis Canada to schedule tournaments and run sanctioned events. By hosting sanctioned tournaments, member clubs have the opportunity to benefit from additional revenue and raise the club’s profile in their local community, which in turn, may attract new members and provides an added service to current members.

Member clubs can choose to benefit from exposure on our website or our social media platforms by sharing club information, programs offered, upcoming sanctioned tournaments, special events, and ways to get involved at your respective club.
