SUMMER WAS A BLAST

We had 1,155 kids come through our door.

Some children were picking up a racquet for the first time, others training in our Elite program, and every skill level in-between. We also had a lot of positive feedback on our Adult Cardio Tennis Programs:

"Best cardio sessions I’ve ever had. It might even be a bit too much cardio sometimes…. Haha"

Aforza would like to welcome our new Padel coaches, Andres Stamile and Oscar Castaneda.

Oscar hails from Mexico where he competed for many years and had become one the top adult players in the country there.

Andres first represented Canada as a junior at the World Championships back in 2009 when Canada walked away with a 3^rd place finish. Since then, Andres has travelled to many World Championships as an adult. 

Both Andres and Oscar have a lot of experience coaching both tennis and Padel and we are thrilled to have both of them join our team. Contact the front desk to sign up for one of our free Try Padel Events on Wednesday mornings from 10am – 12 pm or on Friday nights from 5:30-7:30 pm and come meet our new Padel coaches!
