St. Albert Tennis Club is now on Facebook, click: SATC Facebook


On-line Court Booking is now available. The key reason SATC has implemented on-line court booking is to allow members to know that they will have a court available to them when they show up at our Mission courts. Not every member of SATC lives a short distance from the club and  it can be disappointing to drive to the courts only to discover they are all full. We do have rules regarding court time when others are waiting but not everyone follows them and they are hard to enforce. As this is a new system for us there will be bugs and issues to sort out but we have two attachments to help. The first walks you through the court-booking process: STEPS_TO_BOOK_A_COURT.pdf  and the second lists the rules for Court Booking: - The Rules for Court Booking.

Let us know how this system is working for you and what problems you are encountering by emailing the club at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

How to Register for Memberships and Junior Programs:

If you used our Registration process last year and remember how to use it, click the link below to login to your account and  register for 2024 Memberships and Programs (starting April 1):   https://www8.tennisclubsoft.com/stalbert/

Note: Once you have bought your membership, login to the above site with your user name and password. The court gates and clubhouse codes will be posted on the home page, upper right, in red.

 

Refund Policy - refunds of Membership and Program Fees, when applicable, are subject to a $10.00 processing fee.

 


Guest Fee

Members are encouraged to bring guests to play during Club times.  A daily fee simplifies the guest issues and respects that members have paid a fee for seasonal use of the courts. Members are accountable for their guest(s) behaviour and are responsible for opening and locking the courts.

Before the guest plays, they must pay a daily fee of $10.00 via an email transfer to: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.; no password needed

No other methods of payment are accepted and guests may not play in club tournaments.


 Calendar - Check the calendar below to see when your group program is scheduled or to see when courts are open for drop-in play. Note: If our court booking and guest registration system is operational (May 1, we hope) that will be the best source for finding open playing times. 


 I.D. Tags (new for 2024)

A reminder to members, you are required to display our new bag tag for proof of membership.  Tags will be available at clubhouse events in early May (Open House). If you do not have yours after the season starts, send an email to: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.


Webcam 

The Court Webcam site should be working, but your browser, security software or operating system may be blocking the site. A fix for PCs using Chrome or Microsoft Edge is to click the lock icon which is just left of the URL on the Webcam site then click "site permissions", then "insecure content" and change the status from "block" to "allow". Let us know at our email address This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you cannot access the club Webcam.


Leaf Blower

The leaf blower is available to clean off the courts. It is located by the equipment doorway (front west) in the clubhouse. Remember to return the blower after use and place the used battery (it has two of them) in the recharger.


 About Us

Lifetime honourary member, Gord Olsson, has produced a Club History. He wrote this to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the club in 2021. If you would like to read a pdf version of the book, it can be found here: ST ALBERT TENNIS CLUB 1961-2021 .

From the Preface to the book:

"This didn’t start out to be a St Albert Tennis Club history. I had been taking pictures of Club events for
around 20 years. Pictures sitting in a file on my computer were of no use to anyone. So, in 2020, I
decided to compile a short photo-book containing stories of Club members and memorable events
illustrated by the pictures. Grant Jerace and Stephen Bouska suggested expanding it to be a complete
Club history and interviewing some longstanding Club members. The timing was right - Covid isolation
gave me lots of spare time to work on the project.
"


Our 2023 Annual General Meeting was held on Saturday October 14 at the Mission Clubhouse.  Minutes of the meeting can be read here: 2023 AGM Minutes
