TOURNAMENT INFORMATION

A Big Day of Tennis, Wellness & Fun at ATC

Join us as we celebrate the Singles & Mixed Doubles Finals of our Summer 2026 Tournament and turn the club into a full day of tennis, wellness, food, drinks, prizes and plenty of great atmosphere.


🎾 Championship Tennis


The best of our Summer 2026 Tournament comes down to the final matches. Come out and watch our Singles and Mixed Doubles finalists battle it out for the championship. Expect great tennis, competitive matches and plenty of excitement around the courts.


💪 Wellness Village


It’s not just about taking care of your game. Our Wellness Village will give members an opportunity to take care of themselves, too. Stop by, explore the offerings and get your body tuned up — because feeling good off the court is just as important as playing well on it.

After the tennis, or in between matches, head over to the ATC Patio for food, drinks and a great club atmosphere. Trails Cafe Ancaster (https://trailscafe.ca/ ) will be providing us with a delicious selection of pastries and cheese. Grab something to eat, enjoy a drink, catch up with friends and take in the action happening around the club.

Then grab your racquet, hit the courts for some fun social tennis, or relax on the patio with friends, good food, and plenty of laughs.

As if that wasn't enough, your ticket also includes FIVE raffle tickets, giving you five chances to win one of several great prizes throughout the evening.

Event Details

• Price: $20 per person (non-refundable)

• Includes 2 tacos, salad, Mexican street corn, 1 drink (non-alcoholic), peach cheesecake

Let's make up for the weather last time with an evening full of great food, great tennis, and even better company.

Reserve your spot before they're gone!

More info coming soon.
