Armed & dangerous

Thanks to Gill & Paul who have chipped away at our deck all summer. Today, the duo worked from 10AM-6PM... We haven't had the heart to tell them it's unpaid labour.

Adult Clinics

Our second set of summer clinics for adults will be starting next week. These sessions include exciting options for every level of play. Sessions B, C & D are open to players according to their level of play. All sessions run for a period of one month.

B- Advanced Intermediates (Wednesdays 10:30-12)

C- Intermediates (Mondays 11:30-1PM)

Members who need a hand figuring this out can reach out and ask for an official Pro assessment- info@rltennis.ca

Our Shot of the week & Cardio Clinics have been postponed for the time being.

Keep in mind that our Women's 3.5 Clinic is also starting fairly soon which has its own 3 day roster from the 14th of September to the 16th 9:00-10:30AM.

Club Tournament Update

Our Mens doubles tournament finished last week with last years champs Henric Alfredsson & Sacha Krishna taking the cake again! Shawn Malhotra and Daniel Alfredsson will be reviewing tapes and plotting their comeback in the offseason. Thanks to Pablo Gonzalez for umping, staff John Neumenhimer for drying the court and Phil English for running everything so damn smoothly!

On our consolation side, Bill Turner & Jean Francois beat young guns Matthew Vermaeten & Ramin Akhavan...No easy feat! Bill was pretty excited, rightfully so.

Thank you for signing up and contributing to the fun, competitive atmosphere at the club. The next tournament on the horizon is Junior Singles in late August. We will set the date this week. Stay tuned!

Garbages on Court

We would like to keep our newly added garbages on court for member convenience. Please note that these garbages are not for recyclables. Our hard working morning maintenance team otherwise has to spend time sorting out garbage instead of giving courts the TLC they deserve. We also have a basket fo used balls on the deck. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

Members & Court Maintenance

We are thrilled that members have been actively helping us dry courts on occasion. We always encourage this help on our hard courts. Our clay courts are a little more delicate. Unless working with staff or management, please do not attempt to dry the courts on your own as many of these methods can interfere with the integrity of the surface.

Thank you to our wonderful sponsors. Click their logos to find out more!

Stay safe! We look forward to seeing everyone out on the courts. Reach out to us with any questions or concerns and we'll get back to you,
