Why us
Why players return to GM Tenis Academy
Data-informed coaching
Our digital stroke analysis goes beyond a coach's eye. Multi-angle video and frame-by-frame annotation give players and parents a clear, documented picture of what to work on.

Our masterclass programme brings high-level coach development to central Alberta so local coaches do not have to travel to major urban centres for quality professional development.

Stroke technique and court fitness are developed together. Our conditioning programme is designed around tennis-specific movement so physical gains translate directly to match performance.
Community first
We run holiday camps, recreational adult groups and beginner programmes because we want tennis to be accessible to everyone in Red Deer — not just elite competitors.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be a competitive player to train at GM Tenis Academy?
Not at all. We have programmes for complete beginners through to competitive juniors and adults. The recreational adult groups and beginner holiday camps are specifically designed for players who want to enjoy the sport without competitive pressure.
How do I register for a programme?
Contact us by phone or email and we will guide you through the process. For juniors, we recommend a brief court assessment before the first block begins so we can place your child in the right group.
Are programmes available year-round?
Yes. Our indoor courts allow us to run programmes throughout the year regardless of Alberta's weather. Holiday camps follow the school calendar for spring break, summer and winter break.
Can adults join the junior holiday camps as helpers or observers?
Camps are designed for players aged 7–16. Parents are welcome to watch from the designated viewing area but do not participate in on-court activities.
Do you offer any programmes for players with disabilities?
We are committed to making tennis accessible. Please contact us to discuss your specific situation and we will do our best to accommodate or adapt a programme to suit your needs.
Is equipment available to borrow or purchase?
