ParticipACTION Community Challenge 

The Community Challenge is a national physical activity and sport initiative that encourages everyone in Canada to get active throughout June in search of Canada’s Most Active Community. The winner will receive $100,000 to support local sport and physical activity initiatives 

The Mayne Island Social Tennis Club is registered with this challenge. Beginning June 1^st to June 30^th, we will track the activity on the courts and each time we track participants, our organization will be entered into a draw to win one of fifteen $500 cash prizes that will be awarded throughout June!

Plus, the more participants we track, the greater our community’s odds of being named province, territory or Canada’s Most Active Community, and winning funds to support local sport and physical activity initiatives!

Tennis Clinic

On June 18, we hosted an instructor from the Panorama Recreation Tennis Program in Saanich, who conducted a skills clinic for our members. The clinic was sponsored by the MIPRC and the Mayne Island Social Tennis Club (MIST) and was free to MIST members.

The clinic with Coach Eric was fun and beneficial. He spent 2 hours instructing, practice teaching and demonstrating (serving, forward and backhand strokes, body positioning etc.)  with fun drills and tips that everyone took away to use in their game. Some members who attended responded with positive feedback:

 “Some great reminder tips for serving and the basic groundstrokes”. 

“All the tips he gave us were useful  and the drills were great to put them into play”

“Such fun and I look forward to playing more”

“I feel that he provided a structure with which to approach tennis that I did not have before...”
