Tennis Newfoundland and Labrador is launching a new school program to deliver tennis into school gym classes. If you are a PE teacher and wish to have our support in your school, please contact Ryan Maarschalk at (709) 765 0426 or tennis@sportnl.ca
TNL will subsidize portable nets, foam balls, and various sized rackets appropriate for any aged kids. Our efforts for this program are concentrated at Kindergarten and Grades 1-3 at this stage as we want to introduce tennis to kids while they are still very young.
Playing tennis in a school gym is perfect for tennis at this age. The court is the correct size and players can get plenty of volume rallying over the net.

The After-School Program
If you have kids in your gym class that really enjoy tennis and wish to continue outside of school, we are now offering an after-school program at the new Provincial Center on Crosbie Road, St John’s. Gander and Corner Brook are also offering after school programs all year round. The set-up for the after-school program is identical to that of the school program, using gym space and portable nets for ½ court and ¾ court tennis.
