The purpose of the Academy is group instruction during the off-season and is to push young children to their maximum potential both on and off the court.

Staff will teach the game from the ground up including both basic and advanced fundamentals. Most importantly they will teach essential life skills such as commitment, hard work, enthusiasm, goal setting, etc.

The program will be for boys and girls Grades 4-12 and will be operated by the New Minas recreation Department and housed in Canning. For further information, or to register, please contact the New Minas Recreation Department @ 681-6577 or 681-6041.
