FAQ

Who can join the Vancouver Tennis Association?

The VTA is a 2SLGBTQ+ association; we welcome everyone that enjoys the game of tennis. We have members from 18 to 80+ (minors will need permission from a guardian).

We recommend players be at a self-rated NTRP 2.5 level or higher to get the most from our club (more details on NTRP ratings) as we do not offer coaching or tennis lessons for beginners to the game.

We do not accept discrimination or harassment of any kind, including based on age, gender, sexual orientation, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion. Read our code of conduct.

I’m not sure about joining the VTA, can you help?

We know that joining a new group can be daunting. We are a friendly inclusive bunch. Please reach out to one of our volunteer Executive Committee members, we can answer any of your questions and pair you up with a buddy for your first events/programs.

Let us know what will help you and we will do our best to provide it.

What are the additional costs?

We are completely volunteer-run so all membership dues and fees go into running our club, renting courts, balls etc. Membership is $50 per year.

Any programs you choose to participate in may have additional costs – as a rough outline below are some additional costs:

  • Social Doubles Play Sessions are $12 per session
  • Singles Ladder is free to join (when running)
  • Club Championship registration fees vary, but are generally $40-120
  • Social Events may have a ticket price usually around $20 (often covers a drink and some food)
  • Spring League participation also requires a Tennis BC membership (their most basic league-only membership for 2023 was $25 plus tax), and ~$15-18 per session played in
  • Specific cups and tournaments have an outline of costs involved on those pages

You must have your own racquet. Balls are provided for most of our programs and tournaments (with the exception of Singles Ladder).

You do not need to be a club member to participate in the Vancouver International Pride tournament (VIP).
