COACHING PROGRAMS:
As a non-profit, member-run organization it’s important as a Community Club that we offer our SunCoast BC youth the opportunity to discover the game of tennis or improve their skills – they’re the future! But we also offer coaching for adults too - whether you've just moved to the Coast and want to join a club for regular tennis, have just picked up a racquet after way too long or just want to brush up on your skills and techniques, then you've come to the right place.
Our year-round Club Coach, Jacques Joyal, is now assisted by Keith Lewis. They are at the centre of our coaching program and tennis camps, which also involves recently qualified Club members as Tennis BC Community Tennis Assistants. Jacques is on hand to help whether you want to be coached one-on-one or in small groups. For individual coaching he can be contacted at: 604-741-7858.
Coaching is open to anyone interested in tennis. We welcome non-members.
All Coaching programs take place indoors at our community indoor tennis centre at Suncoast Racquet Club, 6000 Lighthouse Avenue, Sechelt.

Youth Development
Our resident Club Coach Jacques provides weekly coaching programs for various age groups and abilities. Jacques is always talent-spotting for our Future Youth Stars so if you are interested or have a budding tennis player in the family get in touch.
We also have two support Funds to help families financially with tennis coaching for young tennis players who our coach has assessed and believes they have real potential to go far with the game. These are - the SRC Youth Fund and the Paul Meyer Endowment Fund.
To find out more about either of these Funds - either for donations to the fund or how to apply for funds - please email our Club Chair, Tamara F. Jacobsen, at chair@srctennis.ca and she will guide you through the process.
