The Salt Spring Tennis Association (SSTA) was established to promote
tennis on Salt Spring Island and provide opportunities for tennis players to
meet for healthy competition and social events. The Association is a member of
Tennis BC and
operates a junior program during the summer.
In 2010, Tennis Canada chose Salt Spring Island as the 'Tennis Friendly
Community of the Year' for the whole of Canada!!
Tennis is played year round on Salt Spring Island – weather permitting - on
courts supplied by the Salt Spring Island Parks and Recreation Commission.
By agreement, the SSTA uses the courts at Portlock Park for league play, an
inter-club program with off-island tennis clubs, drop-in sessions and
tournaments. During these events, three courts are used, leaving one
available for use by anyone.
A GAME ANYONE?
Each year from the beginning of May until the wet fall weather sets in,
the tennis courts at Portlock Park are reserved for drop-in tennis on
various days. Anyone is welcome to play.
