This free instructional "Green Ball" program is offered every Sunday starting October 13th in partnership with the City of Toronto. A racket is included with the program but participants are welcome to bring their own if they chose. About Philpott Children's Tennis: Since 1991, the Philpott Children’s Tennis Fund has helped introduce Toronto’s inner-city children to tennis. Founded out of a desire to honour the memory of Doug Philpott – one of the great folk heroes of Canadian tennis – the Fund provides free lessons, from qualified coaches and instructors, to kids deep in the heart of Toronto’s diverse neighbourhoods. Here, coaches teach not only the basics of the game, but also help participants learn valuable life lessons about discipline, cooperation and self-confidence.
