At Howard Park Tennis Club the Armstrong Tennis Academy will use "progressive tennis" methods for the junior programs. Our certified coaches have been trained to implement the latest training techniques from Tennis Canada and the International Tennis Federation and to use the best equipment to teach the children. Below is a description of the training model and if you have any further questions please contact Ben Armstrong or the other coaches.
 
We will have a limited number of racquets for loan. If you would like to purchase an appropriate progressive racquet or ball at discounted prices (for players enrolled in the programs) please contact Ben or visit our partner Game Set Match Tennis Boutique at 784 Annette St.
