Renovation Project Update

Progress to minimum goal of $125,000.

The progress amount does not include committed pledges which will be recognized when received.

 
Progress   $56,000

The Renovation Project is early days and going well. The new lighting system is complete and operational. Anyone who has played at night since the new lights were installed knows this is a great improvement. The funding is in place for the new water line required to increase the water pressure. This will take place as our season ends in the fall with no interruption to play. A group of tennis players at St George’s had a Yard Sale recently, $1000 + raised….Awesome.

We will be announcing some other events to engage members and raise some funds. We are finalizing ideas to encourage corporate support. Stay tuned.

Click the link at the top of this page to view all aspects of this project. Donations can be made through this link and tax receipts are available.

St George’s needs this upgrade. We encourage all members to support your club. Large and small donations appreciated as we still have lots of work and fundraising ahead. If you have made a donation, Thank you.


Sincerely ,

St George's Board of Directors,  Project Committee and Fundraising Committee

Tennis Tuesdays

Join us for mixed doubles on Tuesday night, a terrific way for club members to meet and play. Open to players of all skill levels. No partner is required. Just drop in and we’ll assign teams. Game time is Tuesday from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. This event is similar to the Sunday Social but slightly more competitive.

Wee Weekly

Like more competitive play? Join us for the Wee Weekly tournament every weekend. Play starts at Saturday 9:00 am and runs to 1:00 pm. A great way to improve your game and meet other competitive players. Plus you’re guaranteed two matches! The Wee Weekly alternates between doubles one week and singles the next.

Sunday Social

The Sunday Social is a much loved and time-honoured club tradition. Join us every Sunday from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm. The Social starts with mixed doubles and ends with a cup of tea and laughter. Players of all skill levels are welcome. Lots of quick and fun matches are promised with a variety of partners. A great way for new members to meet club players.

Keep an eye on the website for Tennis Tuesdays, Wee Weekly, and Sunday Social updates.

Introducing our head coach for 2024

 

Winners don’t do different things, they do things differently.

—Satyam Verma, Head Coach, St. George’s Tennis Club

We are excited to welcome Satyam Verma as our head coach this 2024 season!

Satyam is a certified Club Professional 2 with 5+ years of coaching experience. Born in India, he embarked on a journey that led him to Halifax in 2016, where he pursued a Bachelor of Commerce from Saint Mary’s University. Tennis is a sport that has held a special place in his heart since the age of 8. He has represented his school team and clinched multiple provincial and national trophies. His involvement in tennis evolved from being a nationally ranked junior in India to captaining Saint Mary’s University Tennis Team for 3 years. Under his captaincy in 2020, the team qualified for the first time to compete for Nationals at the Rogers Cup in Toronto by becoming the Provincial Champion.

Satyam is currently the Adult Program Coordinator at Sobey’s Atlantic Tennis Centre and also assists/leads Junior High-Performance Programs. His love for tennis and teaching can be seen every time he steps on the court. He credits his love of seeing students excel as the prime motivation for choosing tennis as his career and feels that the range of experiences enables him to tackle the role of Head Pro at St. George’s Club.
