Building Communities


BUILDING TENNIS COMMUNITIES STRATEGY (BTC) 

is a collaborative effort between Tennis Canada and Provincial Tennis Organizations to grow the game of tennis in communities throughout Canada. The goal of the BTC Strategy is to bring more people into the game of tennis and to keep them playing for life while facilitating growth and sustainability. For more information about BTC

Tennis Canada provides funding assistance to Community Champion(s) for a three year period and after that we work together to find the resources to ensure that tennis continues to contribute to the health of the community.



Community Champions

Person or group who are passionate about tennis and well connected to other community leaders (e.g. youth group leaders, town/city counselors, health professionals, local businesspeople etc.) in his/her community. Community Champions are integral to Tennis Canada's Building Tennis Communities Strategy. The mandate of this program is to grow and sustain the growth of tennis by addressing the needs of communities.

If you are interested in becoming a community champion in your area, please contact Lenka Moravcova, Manager of Coaching and Community Services at lenka@tennisbc.org or 604-737-3118.
