Lessons and programs

  • City of Vaughan "Learn to Play Tennis". Beginner lessons run with Ready Set Sports using modified balls, nets and courts (Tennis Canada's progressive approach). Players bring their own racquet. In spring 2025 Sunday sessions ran at Vellore Village and Dufferin Clark community centres; past guides have offered ages 7–9 and parent-and-child classes. [source]
  • How to register. Through the City's online recreation system (PerfectMind) and the current Recreation eGuide; questions to 905-832-2281 or [email protected]. Fee assistance is available through RecAssist. [source]
  • Clubs and academies above run junior groups, camps and adult programs through the season. Camp dates and ages by club are on our kids' tennis lessons and camps page.
  • Winter. City courts aren't maintained over winter. Clubs put domes up in October and some are indoors year-round; see indoor and winter tennis in Vaughan for seasons and who can book. Tennis Ontario keeps a list of indoor clubs. [source]

The junior pathway: red, orange, green

Tennis Canada's progressive tennis matches court size, ball speed and racquet length to the player, so kids rally sooner. Tennis Canada's own pages give slightly different ages; these are typical:

StageTypical ageCourtRacquet
Red ball8 and underAbout ¼ court19–21"
Orange ball9 and underAbout ¾ court23"
Green ball10 and underFull court25–26"

Source: Tennis Canada, Progressive Tennis. Height is the better guide to racquet length than age.

Competing in Ontario

  • Rookie events (Rogers First Set Tour) are the entry level, with no ranking points; Rising Stars is the next step for advanced U9–U10 players. [source]
  • Ranking points start at 2-star events, then 3-star and 4-star; 5-star events are the indoor and outdoor Provincial Championships. Age groups run U8 to U18. [source]
  • Vaughan clubs belong to Tennis Ontario's North Central region. [source]
  • High-school tennis in York Region runs through the York Region Athletic Association (YRAA). [source]

Booking, sharing and etiquette

  • First-come, first-served. City courts aren't booked; walk up and play. [source]
  • Club permit hours. Some courts are permitted to clubs (for example Vaughan Tennis Club at Matthew Park and Thornhill Park Tennis Club at Dufferin District Park); during those hours they're for members. The City's 2025 Tennis and Pickleball Strategy also proposed a court-booking pilot at a few locations. [source]
  • Shared with pickleball. Many courts have pickleball lines (the City counted 30 shared courts at 14 locations in 2024). [source]
  • When it's busy. The City doesn't post a fixed time limit; the courteous norm is to rotate after a set or about an hour when others are waiting.
  • Report a problem (broken net, lights out, damaged surface) to Service Vaughan: 905-832-2281, [email protected] or online. [source]
