JUNE 2019

As it winds down towards the end of another great academy year, and our players are dealing with their end of year schooling responsibilities - we eagerly look forward to a "lovely sunny " summer season. Congratulations to all the players; in both our competitive and recreational streams for a successful year of training, competition and fun - and good luck to our players that are participating in the outdoor, competitive events.

It has been a hectic Spring; as our programs are well underway at the various Community Clubs we are involved with for the outdoor season; Milton / Burlington / Bridlewood and Mimico Tennis Clubs, along of course with our regular activities at the Cedar Springs Club in Burlington and Toronto Tennis City. If you haven't already done so, remember to register for one of the upcoming high performance/ recreational and fun summer camps at one of the locations outlined above (see our website). Importantly also, our 2019-2020 Academy Programs (see below) is now outlined on our website - and registration will be available shortly. Take Care, Doug Burke ACE President

ALL THE WAY FROM HALIFAX! Darah Ross had her first tennis lesson when she was 3, and started playing tournaments at the age of 8. She competed in indoor and outdoor U12 and 14 nationals and U16 and U18 indoor nationals, and represented Nova Scotia in the 2017 Summer Canada Games in Winnipeg. She spends a significant amount of time on court, usually an hour and a half in the morning before school and 2 hours after school. The tennis environment in Halifax is very small so Darah says you end up competing

against the same people every tournament, and you also train with the same people. She is excited about coming to ACE in the fall, as there will be so many more opportunities to excel in the sport and better her future as an athlete.
