Membership Application Form 2009 Your membership is important for many reasons. As a strong Tennis Community we can make ourselves heard, and gain the respect that tennis deserves in our fast growing town. With more new people in Canmore every year, many of them summer recreationalists, it is exciting to grow our tennis community and connect with each other through athletics and healthful living. With a beautiful setting, some excellent coaches, great maintenance provided by the Town of Canmore, and our recently upgraded courts, we can develop our game of tennis and enjoy making new friends. Activities Include:
Interclub Ladies and Men's Tennis (with the Banff Springs Hotel)
Children's Lessons by Chris Southworth
Tennis Drill nights with Chris Southworth Clinics and Tournaments
Mixed doubles fun evenings - Hisae Deeb
Year End Club windup Pot luck for club members.
We now have a Knack Box provided by the Town of Canmore, to store our Ball Machine and brooms and squeegees. We would also have a group of "tennis ambassadors" who play with visiting players from around the world when they're in town.
The possibilities are only limited to the volunteers we have to coordinate them.
