Little Aces Programs - Leagues, Leagues, Leagues!
Greenfield Tennis Club
For players aged 8 to 15
Play, play, play! Leagues are a wonderful opportunity to be outdoors playing team tennis for the sheer enjoyment of it!
Players will have an opportunity to learn basic rules of the game while playing singles and doubles games against kids
of similar skill level. The emphasis is on fun and camaraderie in the spirit of friendly competition! Players will be placed
on equal teams and encouraged to cheer for their teammates. Some technical instruction will be introduced at the
beginning of each day, then players can put their newly acquired skills and Knowledge into action. Scores and standings
will be kept but it is a program where everyone is a winner!
Royal Glenora Club and Greenfield Partnerships
Edmonton Little Aces is very pleased to announce that we are partnering with the Royal Glenora Club this summer and
will be offering Saturday afternoon leagues on their outdoor tennis courts. The Royal Glenora Club is a premier sports
club located in Edmonton’s beautiful river valley and is opening its doors for us to come out and enjoy their courts! It is
a family club and we encourage you to bring your families and have a look around the club as they offer a multitude of
sports from tennis, badminton and squash to hockey and swimming.
Greenfield Tennis Club
We are also very happy to continue working with the Greenfield Tennis Club in offering our league program. It is a
great location for our South Edmonton players and the club has been very supportive of our programs. With a spray
park right next to the courts, it is a great summer location for kids!

Frequently asked questions:
Where do I purchase a racquet?
Racquets may be ordered online via the Amilia Registration website. After adding your desired program to your shopping
cart, click on the blue ‘MERCHANDISE’ tab in the middle of the page. Just add the Wilson Racquet to your cart and check
out. You will then be automatically added to our racquet request list. **Please note that you will not be charged at this
point for the racquet. You will need to bring $20 on the first day of classes to complete the transaction. If you have any
issues at all you can email [email protected] or call 780-415-1694 to request one. We will have appropriate sized
racquets available on the first day of class and will accept cash payments only at that time.
How do I know if my son/daughter’s racquet is the correct size?
Have your son/daughter stand straight up and hold the racquet straight down by her side. She should grip the racquet with the heel
of her hand lined up with the butt end of the racquet but not overhanging the end of the racquet. The head of the racquet should
rest between the top of the shoe and the ground. The racquet should not touch the ground.
What should my son/daughter wear and bring to program?
Please wear non-marking running shoes at both locations. As much as possible, please wear “tennis clothing”, especially at the Royal
Glenora Club. This would consist of non-marking shoes, t-shirt, shorts/skirt/tennis dress/sweat pants, and a hat. Please wear
sunscreen and bring a water bottle with your child’s name on it. Also, please clearly label your child’s racquet with his or her name.
Felt pens will be available on the first day of class.
Please email [email protected] or call 780-415-1694 if you have any questions.
*Additional Note – Little Aces Name Change:
Our Summer 2015 Leagues will be the last programs that we operate under the name Edmonton Little
Aces. We will keep you posted as to what our new name will be starting this Fall!
See you on the courts!
