April 2nd - Courts Open!

April 2nd, 2017. Olivier and friend enjoy the sunshine and a rally.

OK - So maybe only one court! Snow is off one court and a net is up - so the season has started. There is still snow on three of the courts, however as it melts we'll be sure to get the other nets up. If you haven't purchased your 2017 membership be sure to sign up soon!

Registration for 2017

After many requests we are moving to an online registration system for the 2017 season. Club members will be able to purchase Memberships as well as sign up for Lessons and Clinics online. Please check out the Memberships and Lessons and Clinics section of the web site for additional information, prices, and links for registration. Not to worry - if you prefer the old way, we'll still be accepting in-person registration via cheque or cash at the club once it's open, or our supervisors can help you register online at the clubhouse.

St. James 5th Court

In partnership with the Ottawa Catholic School Board (OCSB) and Corpus Christi (located across the street from the club), St. James has a brand new tennis court which is a smooth black asphalt top with white lines. It is open to St. James members basically at all times when school is not in session, which is after school, on weekends, and in the summer time. We'd like to thank Michael Schreider (former Principal) and Jennifer Grant, current Principal of Corpus Christi, as well as the OCSB for helping to facilitate this project.

Mary Thompson Award

This award was created to honour Mary Thompson, a long-time St. James member and mathematics teacher at Glebe Collegiate. In 2003 we lost Mary to cancer, but her enthusiasm for tennis and her vitality will always be remembered. Please contribute to our annual award which goes to the most improved Glebe math student.

Sponsors

We would like to thank our Sponsors for their on-going support of the club:
