Welcome back everyone.
Well, welcome back some of you.
With the first week of march break wrapping up for some and a second one still on for others, plus Easter coming up and a set of Nationals getting started his week, we as a group are very scattered this week. nonetheless, for those that are here and willing, we have a good line up of events scheduled for our sessions. first we will be looking to get back into the swing of things for those that had time off. first few days will be hitting based. lots of volume, consistency and a general feel for all of the strokes. Wednesday we will be doing a fitness day. all hitting based, but lots of grinding the legs and lungs. this should hopefully get our systems back in to playing mode. Thursday will be a bonus day. Given that the numbers will be small and each person will have their won agenda heading into the Easter break, we will be asking each player what they are looking for and working with that in mind.
General Easter reminder: the club will be open for the most part, regular hours, but the academies will not be running, Friday, Saturday and Monday.
As for next week,
with everyone back from march and Easter break we will be doing a lot of feeding, drilling, and volume. it will be a heavy volume week, with the emphasis strongly placed on pushing our cardio, and footwork. details of the week will follow....
on a side note, the coaching staff would like to congratulate all the players that participated in their respective provincial events and would like to encourage all of you to check out tennisontario.com for all the results of our great players.
also a reminder that this week starting Thursday, the under 12 and Under 16 Nationals will be happening and we can follow along with all our participants on the tenniscanada.com web site.
Thanks to all and see you all on the courts,
Tour Team

Hello and welcome to another edition of the Tour Blog.
This week we are gearing up for a run at the provincials. For those looking for info, this Friday is the start of the under 12 and under 16 group and next Wednesday will be the under 14 and 18. The under 18 event will be hosted by the ORC. for those looking to see some great junior tennis, come on out and check out what the players have to offer as well as come out and cheer on your fellow academy team mate.
we have a very respectable number of players in all the events and have contenders in all. To all participants, Good Luck!
This week has been a split focus week. We have been and continue to cater to the needs of each player instead of the group as a whole. with some playing the events and others not it was important for us to identify the needs of those present on a daily basis and work with each players requests.
the focus has been in part on match play, both singles and doubles as well as rhythm and consistency. for some not competing, we have been doing group drills and focusing on targets, zone hitting and return placement.
with the break coming up at the end of this week, we have tried not to implement new things but rather continued our focus on the items we have covered over the year and continued to stress the importance of each component.
habits are built with repetition.
for next week, a reminder that there is no academy and we are off for one week. hopefully that doesn't meant that players will be tennis free for the whole week. if you are not participating in the events, try and get out and hit a few balls. the club will be much busier then usual so if your looking for a court, call ahead and book. Monday and Tuesday will be manageable, with only the march break camps happening, but from Wednesday on, the camp and the u18 events will be using a great deal of the court time.
on another note, we have finalized details of the summer performance tennis camps, so for those interested, come talk to us about what the ORC will be providing this summer.
Have a great week, best of luck to all players and for those going away enjoy the sun or ski!!!
