Do not recommend taking your kids for instruction to this school. I can compare school that gives tennis lessons in Montreal and Ottawa and this school are simply bad. I guess it is just somewhat extra income in their pocket. This school has no structure, no age gradations, 8 years old being in the same class with 13-14 years old, which even looks not proper. lessons are very strange. I can see a lot of faults in instructions given to the peers. If your child is not a strong player he/ she will spend time on the bench while stronger players getting trained.
