The ACE Tennis System for Junior Development
ACE Tennis has been recognised for years as the leader in player development in Canada. ACE players have won over 200 national titles and received over 200 US scholarships. Many of Canada’s top players of the past thirty years are graduates of the ACE program formerly known as ALL-CANADIAN. Many of Canada’s top coaches are also graduates of the program.
Canadian leader in junior tennis development, ACE Tennis is responsible for all programming of junior tennis activities at Toronto Tennis City in Toronto and Cedar Springs Health, Racquet & Sportsclub in Burlington. Pierre Lamarche, the former Canadian Davis Cup team captain is the executive director of all ACE Tennis programs. Ben Armstrong, level 3 coach, is the director for ACE Tennis Toronto. Craig Mercer is the tennis director for ACE Tennis Burlington.
The commitment of ACE Tennis staff to the well being of their athletes is matched with progressive leading edge systematic programming. The leaders of ACE Tennis see tennis training as a vehicle for the development of excellence in youth. ACE Tennis is very proud of its numerous players that have achieved success on the national and international scene, but even greater is the contribution that ACE Tennis graduates have made to the Canadian sport culture and Canadian society.
ACE Tennis offers High Performance and progressive programs which meet the needs of all players. This past year we redesigned the content of our programs to parallel recommendations from Tennis Canada and the ITF on the volume of training required to develop fully a player’s potential. We integrated these recommendations with our own player Mantra which provides players, parents, coaches, support staff and our curriculum designer with a clear picture of how we want our players to develop.
