Tennis Manitoba Schools Program
Introducing Tennis to Schools Across Manitoba
The Tennis Manitoba School Programs is bringing tennis directly into schools across the province. Designed in collaboration with Tennis Canada’s First Set – Tennis in Schools resource, the program introduces students to tennis in a fun, inclusive, and play-based environment that supports physical and social development.
While the program is primarily targeted at elementary school students, it can be easily adapted for junior high and high school classes as well. Each session focuses on developing proper tennis fundamentals—forehand, backhand, serve, and volley—while building physical literacy, confidence, and teamwork through engaging activities and games.
All sessions are led by Tennis Manitoba certified coaches using mini-nets, smaller racquets, and low-compression balls to ensure success for every player. Equipment is supplied by Tennis Manitoba.
