Description
As a whole
Our mission is to grow the sport of tennis in Thunder Bay by offering accessible, progressive programs for children and youth.
Level Screening Process
Then initial screening process will be done through the website. As all registration for the JD program will be directed through the new JD portal, parents will be asked to select the appropriate level for the child they are registering. In order to register they will navigate through to the different levels where they can read the information provided and access the curriculum if desired. Upon selection of the appropriate level, available time slots will pop up for them to select. If they are unsure of which level to select, they will be directed to call the JD Coordinator at the clubhouse to further discuss it.
It will be the JD Coordinator’s responsibility to verify the accuracy of the level the participant has been registered in when creating the groups for lessons. This can be done by previous knowledge of the participants abilities, a phone call to the parent, or if required, an on-court evaluation.

Our goal is for them to move through this phase creating a love for the game and a skill base to build upon when they happily return for more.
