Safe Return
In these uncertain times, we are so thankful to our coaches, parents and players who have made the return to tennis possible. Ace Tennis has been operational at Milton Tennis Club, Burlington Tennis Club, Howard Park Tennis Club, Bridelwood Tennis Club and Mimico Tennis Club offering summer programs and summer camps under strict protocols. These community clubs, plus Toronto Tennis City and indoors at Cedar Springs Club have welcomed and serviced hundreds of children safely this summer. OTA events are also being operated at four of the ace operated sites.
Now with the fall season on the horizon and uncertainty in the air as it relates to school, Ace is ensuring that protocols for everyone’s safety will be in place as we start our new Academy year. All Canadian, Ace Tennis parent company, and Cedar Springs Ownership have come to terms for a five year partnership which will insure Cedar as Ace’s home base for the foreseeable future.
Let’s get going on a new year while ensuring we maintain the vigilance required!

Both Victor and Flavia, Middle Tennessee University graduate will join over a dozen past Ace coaches who operate as managers or tennis directors of their facilities. All of us are thankful for the caring and giving received from both Flavia and Victor to our Ace players. We wish them the best in their new venture! |

Their success is the best motivation for me to move even further and work even harder!" |
