"The Tennis BC Program is an excellent service to our school and to the game of tennis. It's brings an opportunity to our students to increase their knowledge and skill of this game. The program is fun and exciting and has taught our students not only practical tennis tips but life lessons as well."

"Coach Willie used lots of positive reinforcement and the kids gained tennis skills very quickly. Our students really enjoyed their lessons, and many of them have purchased their own racquets and are continuing to play. It's a wonderful life-time sport to bring to our students. I hope we can offer this program annually."
