As seen on CBC

Our child started with Summer Smash a few years ago and has enjoyed each session while learning practical tennis skills. The coaches are incredibly patient and supportive, and they do a fantastic job of teaching technical aspects of tennis. We are glad that we have this high quality, affordable tennis program in our community centre.

I signed up my two daughters for the summer tennis camp and it's been an absolutely amazing experience for them. The girls are learning new things everyday and actually look forward to getting up early and hitting the courts. The best part has been the coaches - the ratio of tennis coach to student is perfect, it feels like every kid is getting a lot of attention. The coaches themselves are young, friendly and seem to be having a lot of fun with the kids. Their passion for tennis is obvious.

After experiencing a couple other options for tennis lessons in Vancouver, I couldn't have been more impressed with level of professionalism and expertise at Summer Smash Tennis. The program is well structured and engaging, with tailored delivery by their awesome coaches (who also make the whole experience a ton of fun).

Our lessons are designed to follow The First Peoples Principles of Learning in the subsequent ways:
- Learning supports the well-being of the self, the family, the community, and the land through participation in sport
- Learning is holistic, reflexive, reflective, experiential, and relational focusing on the connectedness, relationships, and sense of place that sport provides
- Learning involves recognizing the consequences of one‘s actions within an athletic context
- Learning involves generational roles and responsibilities around sport
- Learning recognizes the emergent role of Indigenous participation in tennis
- Learning is embedded in memory, history, and story, providing socio-historical context of tennis and who has typically been given access to the sport
- Learning involves patience and time.
- Learning requires exploration of one‘s identity as an athlete.
