About Rogers Rookie Tour
Welcome to the Rogers Rookie Tour, a national program designed to bridge the gap between entry-level tennis and the provincial competitive junior circuit. Rookie Tour events have been met with a great deal of success in many provinces, including Ontario, British Columbia, and the Prairie and Atlantic regions, and it is this success that has led to the development of a national program based on the Rookie Tour concept. The Rogers Rookie Tour has the potential to reach thousands of juniors each year at tennis clubs and tennis centres throughout the country, and can encourage these players to continue through the tennis pathway to become regular competitors and/or lifelong tennis enthusiasts.
Rogers Rookie Tour Highlights
- Boys and girls up to the age of 18 are eligible to participate - All events are non-elimination tournaments for unranked or lower-ranked youngsters with multiple opportunities to play regardless of result - Positive learning environment to develop and display tennis and sportsmanship skills while competing against a variety of opponents - Under 12 age groups may use the Progressive Tennis format. Progressive tennis is a program for 5-12 year olds which allows young players to learn and play the game more quickly, efficiently and successfully through a progression of court sizes, balls, and racquets.

"About NETS (North East Tennis Society)"
The North East Tennis Society is a registered non-profit organization whose primary mission is to promote and facilitate the establishment of an affordable and accessible community -based indoor racquet sports facility in the north east sector of the Lower Mainland of British Columbia.
A major priority for NETS has been the raising of community awareness of the need for an indoor racquet sports facility. To that end, we have developed and distributed a community wide petition. To date, we have secured over 1,000 signatures. We have also successfully reached out to local tennis clubs and tennis enthusiasts to serve as NETS volunteers. We have increased the profile of tennis in the local sports community, and now have the attention of Coquitlam Council…we’ve made it to the city’s list of Unfunded Capital Projects…we’re on the radar!
This festival is, hopefully, a first annual event. Its purpose is 3 fold…to raise awareness, to grow racquet sports, and to raise funds for NETS’ vision…thank you for being a part of the legacy!!
