June is Tennis Month in Canada and the Mount Pearl Tennis Club is participating in this initiative by offering three fun tennis events for adults, juniors and members.
This event is open to juniors and adults with or without tennis experience. Everyone is welcome: members from Mount Pearl, other clubs, or folks not with any club at all! We are going to play a continuous tennis match from 8am in the morning until 10pm at night by having people rotate on and off the court. Score will be kept per-matchup but also for each of the teams. The winning team at the end of the day will earn ultimate bragging rights!
Players of similar age / skill / experience will be matched up with each other and you can choose if you want to play singles or doubles (or both) and for how long you want to play. The goal is to create equal and fun matchups for all participants.
There is no cost, but we will be accepting donations to help pay for the food and snacks available.
This event will be held on June 22nd (June 23rd in case it rains).
Complete this form to register. Playing times will be communicated to players by Thursday, June 20th.
The weekend of June 29 - 30 we will be hosting our first tournament of the season. This is a fun team tournament where we will play some singles and doubles in teams to see who comes out on top. This event is only open to Mount Pearl Tennis Club members. More information about this tournament will be coming soon. So stay tuned!

Due to the ongoing labour dispute in the City of Mount Pearl; the Mount Pearl Tennis Club will be suspending all lesson and league programming at our facility until Sunday, July 24. Going forward we will update our website on Sunday evenings and give an update to our members about the lessons for the upcoming week. In addition our clubhouse will be closed. The safety of our members and our youth staff is of the utmost importance to the club. We do not wish to put anyone at risk attempting to cross a picket line in order to participate in our programming.
We are currently looking at all other options to resume our program and plans to offer additional lesson time to make up for what is lost. Please have patience as we work through this difficult situation. If the labour dispute is resolved during the week, we will be able to resume programming at our facility within 24 hours.
We are sorry for any inconvenience. Our volunteer board is very disappointed to have to make this decision. We will be monitoring the situation closely and will keep you informed. Please visit our website and social media for updates.
Thank you,
Mount Pearl Tennis Club Executive
