OUR MISSION:
The Tennis Professionals Association was developed by Tennis Canada for Canadian certified Instructors, Coaches, and Club Professionals.

We seek to deliver up to date information on coaching related material, as well as a variety of benefits including: $2,000,000 liability insurance, educational resources, job find, on-line store, and discounts on tennis products and equipment. Our goal is to educate and provide services/ benefits for tennis coaches and tennis professionals across Canada.
