“I love everything about tennis, but I like whacking the ball the best.” ~ Olivia, Tennis Participant

preschool, kids and teens When Olivia’s parents introduced her to tennis with White Rock Leisure Services this spring, they hoped it would help build confidence and coordination and give her a sport to enjoy for a lifetime. It was love at first volley and Olivia can’t wait to get on the court every week with her favourite teacher in the whole wide world.

Four years ago, Sukie’s friend “dragged her kicking and screaming” to a Zumba class.

Now she’s kicking up her heels three times a week and singing the praises of the most fun workout she’s ever had. She loves that people don’t need to be superfit or dancers and are there just to do something wonderful for their body and spirit.
