Junior Spring Tennis Programs in North York for Ages 4–18
At Hillcrest Tennis Camp in North York, our Junior Spring Program offers 8 weeks of structured tennis coaching for players aged 4 to 18 on our newly revitalized courts at 37 Cresthaven Dr. Running from late April through mid-June with sessions Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM, the spring program is an ideal way for young players in Hillcrest Village and the Bayview Avenue corridor to build a strong foundation before the summer season.
Coaches group juniors by both age and skill level, with beginner and intermediate players training at a 6:1 student-to-coach ratio and advanced players working in focused 4:1 groups. This ensures every child — whether picking up a racquet for the first time or preparing for competitive play — receives coaching tailored to their development stage. Our certified team is led by Director Peter Nielsen, a Tennis Canada National Coach with over 40 years of experience, and Head Pro Roshun Razik, a former Davis Cup player for Sri Lanka with international coaching credentials.
The spring tennis program covers stroke technique, footwork fundamentals, court positioning, and introductory match play, giving juniors a progressive pathway that feeds directly into our junior summer camp. Families near Bayview Station on TTC Line 4, Sheppard Avenue East, and surrounding North York neighbourhoods like Bayview Village, Don Mills, and Pleasant View find the after-school schedule convenient and the commute straightforward.
With flexible 1 to 3 day per week options, the Junior Spring Program at Hillcrest Tennis Camp lets families choose the training intensity that suits their child’s goals and weekly schedule. Whether your young player is exploring tennis as a new sport or building on existing skills ahead of summer, our certified coaching team delivers personalised attention on every court.

What Our Students Say
“My daughter has received private lessons from Victor at Hillcrest Tennis Camp for the last 2 summers. She has enjoyed learning from Victor due to his patience, challenging exercises, and a great balance of challenge and praise.
In addition to training my daughter, my 2 friends and I took lessons from Victor as well. It was my first year playing after over 25 years of inactivity. I am glad that I took these lessons with Victor as he was able to help update my technique and give me the confidence I needed.”
