(Tennis
Canada) – Tennis Canada, in conjunction with Tennis
Manitoba and Tennis Saskatchewan, announced Monday the
joint hiring of Rufus Nel as senior director of the
Prairie Tennis Alliance.
Nel, who was born and raised in South Africa, possesses
an impressive tennis resume that includes more than
30 years of coaching experience in South Africa, Germany,
California and Canada. In his home nation he worked
closely with Neville Godwin, a former Top 100 player
on the world rankings, and while living in British Columbia
he took a young Philip Bester under his wing and guided
him to become a junior tennis phenom.
For the past 14 years Nel has worked at the Hollyburn
Country Club in West Vancouver, starting as an assistant
before moving up to head pro and then tennis director.
In his time there, Hollyburn grew into a major club
with programs available for children and adults of all
ages. It also hosts three provincial tournaments annually
and the Odlum Brown Vancouver Open which is an ATP and
Sony Ericsson WTA Tour event. The club received the
2007 Tennis Canada and Tennis Professionals Association
(TPA) Excellence Award for Facility of the Year. Nel
will now move his entire family to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
to take on his new role.
“Tennis Canada is pleased to have Rufus on board in
this newly formed position,” said Hatem McDadi, vice-president
of tennis development for Tennis Canada. “Rufus brings
a wealth of tennis experience to the Prairies, and I
am confident he will play a significant role in developing
the sport in this region and building on the success
currently in place. All partners are excited to have
Rufus join our team.”
As the senior director, Nel will work with Tennis Canada,
Tennis Manitoba and Tennis Saskatchewan to lead all
tennis development programs and activities in the prairies
to help achieve Tennis Canada’s mission of growing,
promoting and showcasing tennis in Canada and developing
a system that is capable of producing world-class players.
“I am very excited to be taking on this new position,”
said Nel. “I have been coaching for a very long time
and am looking forward to a new challenge. I am thrilled
to have been given the opportunity to build the game
of tennis in the prairies.”
Together, Tennis Canada and the provincial tennis associations
will create a total of six customized joint regional
staff positions whose mandate is to deliver growth,
retention and excellence strategies which will be utilized
at a national level over the next two to three years.
In order to fulfill this mandate, Tennis Canada, Tennis
Manitoba and Tennis Saskatchewan will work together
to develop tennis in the region.
Tennis Manitoba and Saskatchewan become the third region
to adopt a regional director joint staff position following
in the footsteps of the Atlantic Tennis Alliance and
Tennis BC.

Toronto,
ON (TC) – Tennis Canada is pleased to announce the Canadian
recipients of tennis scholarships to colleges in the
United States for September 2008.
The class of 2008 is a special one because its student/athletes
earned scholarships under the new and more demanding
eligibility rules declared by the NCAA, the US college
governing body. In addition to graduating from high
school on time, high performance junior tennis players
must also meet higher core academic standards acquired
throughout their high school years.
Under the leadership of Greg Novak, Tennis Canada’s
college program helps American college coaches recruit
Canadian players. The program recently developed a new
Web site in which players are able to upload their profiles
and videos, which enables college coaches to make quick
evaluations of Canadian talent. The site also provides
coaches with current rankings and match play of players
already pre-evaluated by Novak.
In addition, the Canadian college program keeps in touch
with our Canadians down south in order to share their
success stories with the Canadian tennis community.
The annual University and College National Tennis Championships
is another great venue to display the progress of these
student/athletes to the Canadian tennis community.
The regional qualifying tournaments for this event take
place after players return home each May/June. The final
eight male and female regional qualifiers will then
have an opportunity to showcase their skills during
the final weekend of the Rogers Cup at the world-class
Rexall Centre in Toronto.
This year’s scholarship recipients will be eligible
to compete in this annual event next year after their
first year of university.
Tennis Canada offers sincere congratulations to these
outstanding Canadian student/athletes and their parents
for earning the awards at US Universities:

Steinbach, MB (The
Carillon - Terry Frey) – Ecole communautaire Réal-Bérard
hosted a special ribbon cutting ceremony Friday recognizing
the hours of effort and thousands of dollars that went
in to building new tennis courts for the community.
Principal Bernard DesAutels said that the project started
in September 2006 and a year later the courts were in,
minus the nets and other minor details. Though the weather
did not cooperate in allowing the details to be completed
before the school year, the courts were still usable
for floor hockey, soccer and lacrosse.
Students, donors and their representatives, including
Mavis Tailleau, MLA for Morris, and Adrien Grenier,
Division Scholaire Franco-Manitobaine board of trustees
member, gather to show off the plaques of the more than
60 contributors that helped to build new community tennis
courts at École communautaire Réal-Bérard in St Pierre.
The St Pierre RCMP even challenged the senior high students
at the school to a floor hockey match on the new courts
earlier this year, which the students won quite readily
according to DesAutels.
Now boasting two tennis courts and four half-court basketball
areas, the facility is ready to be used by the public
as well. The area is 120 by 120 feet and is surrounded
by a 16-foot high fence.
There are four topcoats on the courts, which will ensure
a lasting finish for at least eight years. Lights, benches
and other beautifications will also be added in the
near future to complete the project.
The project cost approximately $80,000, which came from
a total of 64 donors. Individual donors came from as
far away as Saskatchewan and corporate donors included
businesses from Winnipeg, Steinbach and even Altona.
Two students also donated money towards the facility.
When asked how he was able to rally up so much support,
DesAutels said a lot of letters were sent out, noting
that his bill for stamps alone was about $300.
Thanks to the project, a tennis club will now be forming
in the area as well, providing yet another recreational
activity for the community. This was the exact inspiration
for the entire undertaking, according to DesAutels.
DesAutels, who is a tennis player himself, came up with
the idea when the province started promoting a healthier
lifestyle. Instead of stopping at just the school level
though, the committee decided to extend it to the community
as a whole.
The school division agreed with the initiative, offering
up land at the school to be used as well as $30,000.
The province also contributed a large sum towards the
project.
The school will look after the regular maintenance of
the courts, as well as provide rackets and balls for
the public to use. The school purchased 75 industrial
strength rackets in three different sizes with the money
raised and will lend to them out to the general public
as needed to ensure that everyone gets a fair chance
to enjoy the sport.
Users will be expected to follow basic rules of fair
play and respect. There will be a 30-minute rule in
effect when there are other people waiting to use the
courts.
DesAutels noted that if the signs listing the donors
were ever to become in poor shape, they would be replaced.
He emphasized the fact that the courts are there only
because of all the donors and the least they can do
to show their appreciation is to ensure their names
are always on display and can clearly be seen.

Winnipeg, MB (TM)
– It took a lot of concentration, not to mention some
skill in mathematics. Kylie Waschuk and Daniella Silva
exchanged shots from the baseline at the Sargent Park
Tennis Center during the junior development camp with
Tennis Canada coach Bob Brett on June 5th. It seemed
like just another drill, although each pair of players
was told to count the number of consecutive shots hit
back and forth with their partner. By the time the girls
were finished, they had hit 933 consecutive shots!
“This is a great accomplishment”, exclaimed Brett. “Kylie
and Daniella have broken the record set earlier this
year by Paul John and Brayden Schnur of Ontario, who
hit 715 consecutive shots. It’s important that we celebrate
the successes of the players” said Brett, as he presented
the girls with t-shirts to remember the event.
Brett conducts camps in each region of the country for
the top junior players. Only time will tell if the record
set by Kylie and Daniella will stand until his next
visit in the fall.
Congratulations girls!See also...
