August 19th, 2023
The recently concluded EJTS Summer Tennis Cup marked a milestone in the world of junior tennis in Edmonton, offering young players an invaluable opportunity to showcase their skills and compete at an organized level for the very first time. Hosted by the Edmonton Junior Tennis Society (EJTS), this event brought together budding tennis players from across the region, creating an electrifying atmosphere of excitement and camaraderie. For many participants, the Summer Tennis Cup served as a steppingstone, turning their passion for tennis into a competitive journey that promises growth and learning.
What shone throughout the tournament was the remarkable display of sportsmanship exhibited by the young participants. From the opening serves to the final match points, these aspiring athletes demonstrated not only their dedication to the sport but also a deep respect for their opponents. Encouraging words, congratulatory handshakes, and genuine smiles were shared both on and off the court, reflecting the values instilled by the EJTS. The Summer Tennis Cup not only fostered healthy competition but also served as a platform for these young players to embrace the true essence of sports: the joy of playing, the thrill of challenge, and the spirit of respect.
EJTS Coach, Carson Fidyk, had this to say about the tournament:
“The EJTS Cup allows students to utilize and showcase the skills they have learnt
throughout the programs. The tournament teaches participants many valuable life
skills, such as how to cope and respond with added nerves. This tournaments
essential as it grants the opportunity for students to compete for the first
time without the same pressure of Tennis Alberta tournaments.”
