TRY

The TRY component consists of increasing access to tennis through a free lesson or tennis event in the communities and schools (eg. Smash cage, the wall, target tennis)

During the summer events of 2011, the Tennis Pathways Program used two avenues to implement tennis during its TRY tennis sessions.

Activity #1 Progressive Mini Tennis

With help from Dunlop and Wilson, the Tennis Pathways Program was able to provide introductory tennis sessions for children and adults during the summer of 2011. The majority of events were held at community clubs and festivals throughout the province.

Activity #2 OTA Smash Cage

The OTA Smash Cage was another event offered by the Pathways Program. Using Wilson racquets and Dunlop tennis balls, players could test their serve speed by hitting the ball into the cage.

All activities offered a variety of prizes and incentives such as a Pathways T-shirt.

Following TRY events, tennis enthusiasts are referred to a local OTA club called a Pathways Welcome Centre.
