Whitby ROCKS at the 2nd Annual Tennis ROCKS! Festival

The 2nd annual Tennis ROCKS! Festival hosted by the Ontario Tennis Association (OTA) in partnership with the Intercounty Tennis Association (ICTA), was held May 23 at the Rexall Centre. Nearly 200 junior competitors from across the province participated in the Junior Team Tennis Championships which culminated with a trophy presentation on Centre Court.  Whitby boys won double gold!

Along with fostering camaraderie between junior tennis players across Ontario, tournament director, Todd Orrett said, “this is an exciting opportunity for young players to say they have competed on the same courts as the pros.” The tennis festival endorses some of the OTA’s and Tennis Canada’s overarching objectives, including promoting tennis in local communities, and encouraging high performance player development through increased use of the Rexall Centre.
