We are happy to announce that ACE Toronto Tennis City has launched its new $25,000 ACE TennisBALL project.

ACE TennisBALL is once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for 32 kids to learn how to play tennis in a 35-week program FOR FREE. After the tryouts that took place on September 19th 2010 at the Toronto Tennis City club, 32 lucky kids have been each given a $1,200 training scholarship and put into one of the four teams: Australian Open, French Open, US Open and Wimbledon. The grant enables every ACE TennisBALL participant to come and train at Toronto Tennis City every Sunday from 1pm to 2pm.

The week long event which attracted over 100 competitors from across the world and Canada was a huge success for the home ACE Tennis Academy as six of the eight quarter finalists in the boys draw were either present ACE Tennis players [Azargui, Nemcsek, Hoang and Reznek] or players that trained at ACE and have gone on to the National Team in Montreal [Vieyra and Trkulja]. This was the second time this year that an ACE player has won both the singles and doubles crown in an ITF event. Victor Hoang accomplished the feat this summer in Vancouver.

Viktoryia Kisdialeva of Ukraine defeated Michela Casanova of Switzerland to win the girls event. Canadians Carol Zhao and Ruxandra Andriescu captured the doubles crown.

A new club in an old setting is opening up on May 1,2010 in the Davisville area. Toronto Tennis City which operated out of Adventure Valley at Leslie and Steeles for the last two summers, will become a year round tennis facility for juniors and adults.

The new club under the direction of All-Canadian Sports Management Inc, president Pierre Lamarche will offer a limited number of memberships for adults and juniors while providing first rate programming and services to all members.

The award winning ACE Tennis programs will be offered for juniors; spring competitive and recreational programs as well as summer camps. This marks the return to Toronto of ACE Tennis, 10 years after the company left the national center at York to establish their successful school at Burlington’s Cedar Springs Health, Racquet & Sportsclub.
