MEET THE PROS
Jeff James
I was born and raised in Edmonton. This is my 6th summer with the St. Albert Tennis Club.I have been coaching tennis for 8 years and am in my 5th year on the U of A Golden Bears Tennis Team,this year as captain. The team won a National Championship in 2016.I am currently ranked #3 in Alberta for Men’s singles and #5 in Alberta for doubles.
Dan Henschel
Usually go by Danny; I am a University of Alberta Golden Bears tennis player, and have worked on developing into a role model for my teammates. The opportunity to play for them has led me to give back to the community, in any way shape or form! I have helped the team win a National title in 2016, and I've been ranked top 10 in Alberta for singles and top 5 in Alberta in doubles, with many open tournament titles coming from doubles. I've been coaching for 8 years now and tennis is my passion in life.

2019 Spring Open House
Weekend of April 27 & 28 from 1 pm to 4 pm
Club pro and executive members will be available to answer questions regarding club and programming
Potential members may get assistance with online registration.
As well members who would like to volunteer to help out around the club can drop by and find out what positions need filling and get particulars on the duties and time commitment involved.
Several changes were made to the Board Policy section over the winter which will be of interest to club members. (Click on the tab above: General, then click on the link Board Guidelines, then choose the topic; Board Policy)
One concerns guests playing at the club.
Another concerns entry to the clubhouse for all members. The club is implementing a key pad entry system for the main door and lounge area. We hope to have this in place by the opening of the season. This system will help provide everyone with access to the washrooms and the water taps.
Another confirms the earlier policy regarding cannibis consumption in public areas.
Just a heads up that the board voted to increase membership fees (app. $10 per individual) for the coming year. The rationale was that the fees have not increased for the last 5 or so years and costs have certainly increased; as well the club is looking at hiring a part time club manager either this year or the next and the fee increase would help pay the manager's salary.
The Mission Hill Courts public use schedule is posted by the main gate of the tennis courts.
