Red Deer Tennis Club 

We are a non-profit organization of volunteers dedicated to promoting tennis and sportsmanship in a club setting, open to the public.  Membership is consistently over 200 adults and juniors, from beginners to provincially ranked players.  We are now operating as a year round club with staff and coaches.  We offer many programs for all ages and abilities.

The facilities include 8 outdoor hard courts, six with lights, 4 indoor hard courts, and a clubhouse with all basic amenities.  We are conveniently situated in downtown Red Deer, next to the Recreation Centre, across the street from the Red Deer Curling Club and Farmers Market, and kitty-corner to the Red Deer Lodge.  Come visit, and play a game or two with us!

Go ahead and browse our pages to learn about our club, contact us with your comments and questions, and we'll see you on the courts!

 

Our Mission

We promote sportsmanship and friendship through playing tennis.

 

Congratulations to Mark Jones for being recognized as the first Tennis Alberta Volunteer of the Month in this issue of E-zine.  Mark has worked tirelessly to advance tennis in the Red Deer region and was instrumental in getting the new indoor bubble developed.

 
     If you are looking for someone to take credit, bow to applause, or collect accolades, this is not your man. If you are looking for someone who works to repair a faulty switch at the Bubble until 2:00 AM, then shows up ready for work without saying a word about how he spent his sleeping time, then this is your man.
     This same fellow can be found shoveling snow, to keep the Bubble safely functioning, while others are happily enjoying playing indoor tennis. After working incognito, he returns to his demanding day job as an elementary school principal. If something needs to be done, he finds a way to make it happen. His leadership skills and the knack for getting right to the point make him a valuable asset to our Red Deer Tennis Club.
      Usually encouraging or joking with others, especially our youth, very few people have any idea how much this man has done and continues to do to make our indoor and outdoor tennis facility such a success.
      If people are waiting for Mark Jones to tell you all that he accomplishes in a day, they won't hear it from him. So, it is our pleasure to inform you just what a super tennis volunteer this man is!
 
This month's volunteer will receive a gift package from Tennis Alberta comprised of Tennis Alberta clothing and a gift card to a restaurant in the volunteer's home community.
