All participants will be required to sign an updated Waiver (or an Assumption of Risk for participants under 18) and COVID-19 Declaration, and to complete a Personal Health Attestation before each lesson. All forms are available online and can be found at the links below.

Individuals including but not limited to participants, volunteers and coaches MAY NOT PARTICIPATE in any programming if they:

All players must adhere to all facility guidelines and follow the directions of the coach at all times.

We are currently working with the Surrey Tennis Centre and UBC Tennis Centre to resume programming at those facilities however at this time we do not have confirmed court time and those programs will therefore not resume prior to October 1.

Please send any questions to Senior Program Coordinator Michelle McDonell at michelle@bcwheelchairsports.com. 

We’re looking forward to seeing you back on court soon!
