Frequently asked questions
What Tennis Camps Run During Summer?
Our junior summer camp offers up to 9 weeks of programming in full-day and half-day formats with extended care. Players from the Bessarion corridor are grouped by age and skill with 6:1 ratios for beginners. The camp takes place on revitalized courts near Bayview Avenue and Sheppard Avenue East.
Can I Take Adult Lessons Nearby?
Yes, our 8-week adult group sessions run at a 4:1 ratio and are designed for players at every skill level. Many participants live near Bessarion Station and appreciate the quick commute along the Sheppard subway line. See available times on our adult group lessons page.
What Is Special About the Coaching Team?
Head Pro Roshun Razik’s Davis Cup experience and international coaching background bring a unique perspective. Director Peter Nielsen has earned more than 10 awards and coached over 17,000 students across four decades. Ahmed Ahmed and Avery Nielsen cover every level from introductory to competitive instruction.
How Do I Get to the Courts From Bessarion?
From Bessarion Station on Line 4, take a short bus ride or drive east on Sheppard toward Bayview Avenue. The trip is typically under 10 minutes by car, and the North York YMCA at Bayview and Sheppard is a nearby landmark. Families from Willowdale make the same easy commute along the Sheppard corridor.
Are There Private Coaching Options?
One-on-one and semi-private lessons are available seven days a week for juniors and adults year-round. Coaches design each session around individual goals, from stroke correction to competitive preparation. Book sessions through our private tennis lessons page.
Does the Camp Offer Extended Care?
Yes, extended care is available during summer camp for families needing early drop-off or late pick-up hours. This makes the programme practical for working parents commuting from the Sheppard-Yonge corridor daily. Children are supervised in a safe, engaging environment before and after their on-court sessions.
What Happens in the Fall Programme?
The Fall Junior Program runs for 6 weeks with 2 to 3 sessions each week on our revitalized North York courts. Players from Bessarion use the programme to stay sharp and build on gains made during summer training. Explore the fall junior programme for scheduling details.
What Skill Levels Are Welcome?
Every programme caters to beginners through advanced players with coach-led assessments for group placement. Beginner juniors enjoy a 6:1 ratio while those with competitive experience train in focused 4:1 groups. Families from Concord Park Place and Bessarion train side by side at our facility.
What Local Parks Are Near the Courts?
The East Don Parklands and Bayview Village Park are both close to our Cresthaven Dr location in North York. Families often combine a tennis session with a visit to the green spaces along the East Don River Valley. Residents of Bayview Village enjoy the proximity of parks and courts alike.
