Philpott Children's Tennis

A place for everyone to play

Summer Program registration is open.  All registration takes place through City of Toronto, either online or at your local recreation centre. See our summer program page for camp locations and registration details.

CURRENT HIGHLIGHTS

We were thrilled to partner with Tennis Canada to run a 4-day Camp for New Canadians.  Our Philpott coaching team ran all of the on-court tennis activities, as well as the off-court fun.  It was a terrific week for everyone involved!

All programs at San Romanoway are cancelled on Monday Sept 12th due to rain and wet conditions.

Take a look at our programs!

Ambassadors are Philpott advocates who generously make recurring donations (monthly). Ambassadors are eligible to receive special opportunities from time to time such as free lessons with some of the very best coaches in Toronto, meet and greets with Leadership Participants from the community and maybe even a special one on one with Carol Zhao!

Proud to be philpott

Philpott Childrens Tennis is a not-for-profit organization  that offers free tennis programs all year round for children aged 6-15 in priority neighborhoods.  Watch our video to see what some of our Philpott family has to say!

Many of our Philpott Coaches first learned tennis through a Philpott Program and became certified coaches to give back to the organization. Our Toronto Sport Leadership Program allows youth aged 16-24 the chance to train and obtain their Tennis Canada Level 1 Instructor Certification for free. Our youth campers are always thrilled to think that they too could one day be certified Philpott tennis instructors.

Our Philpott Community says:

What I like best is how there are very kind and gentle volunteers and instructors.

Philpott Camper

I am very grateful for the funding that has got me here. I truly hope that this support will always be here for as many people as possible to participate in this program that will forever allow more and more people my age to play and learn tennis.

Syed Muhammed Zafar Alam, TSLP Participant

One of the campers this year told me that he never played tennis before. He said that his favorite sport is now tennis. After I showed him my certificate I received as a child, he mentioned that one day, he wants to become an instructor!

Kim Pallarca, Philpott Instructor

Because of this tennis program, [my kids] feel confident now. We used to come to the courts and they would ask: 'Mommy, how do we play?' and I didn't know. They love it! They asked me to buy a racquet and come to the park to play some more.
