Tennis Canada, in partnership with Rogers, has launched a new national program to introduce Canadian youth to the sport of tennis. Rogers First Set is designed to inspire youth and families in communities across Canada to try tennis and learn fundamental tennis skills in a fun, welcoming, safe, and positive environment.
The Rogers First Set Tour – Rookie is a national program designed to bridge the gap between entry-level tennis and the provincial competitive junior circuit. Launched in 2009, Rookie Tours has reached thousands of juniors each year at tennis clubs and community venues throughout the country.
The Rogers First Set Tour – Rising Stars provides young Canadian tennis players (ages 7 to 10) with an opportunity to play competitive tennis in a fun environment. Last year, approximately 1,000 boys and girls across the country competed in almost 400 events.
