The Canadian greats - Bassett-Seguso, Connell, Kelesi, Michibata, Lareau, Hy-Boulais, Nestor and Hetherington - all share the same qualities: courage, discipline, character, effort and perseverance. As young players, they also needed a guiding hand in finding proper training and a competitive environment to achieve success.
Tennis Canada recognizes the demands of an aspiring Canadian tennis player. We have assembled an array of financial assistance packages to assist our top players with costs related to high-performance development. This includes private Tennis Canada/donor grants, Sport Canada Athlete Assistance Program (carding), performance standard grants, U12 training grants and wild card assistance program. This section provides an overview of these programs and highlights the criteria and previous recipients of Tennis Canada assistance.
