OUR MISSION IS TO DEVELOP FEMALE LEADERS THROUGH COACHING TENNIS.
ABOUT US
The ability to inspire is an essential skill that is found in great leaders. These leaders are able to infuse energy, passion and connection into their actions and behaviours. A clear vision, mission and commitment to integrity is what guides us in what we do to strive to make the world a better place. Inspire Through Sport is an organization designed to provide programs, courses, resources and hands-on experience to foster inspirational leadership development.
INSPIRE MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
HELPING FEMALES FIND THEIR PATHWAY TO SUCCESS
We believe that through tennis, females can gain valuable life experience in a safe environment. They acquire knowledge in goal setting, discipline, independence, time management, responsibility, and so much more. We have created a collaborative environment that brings young females together to learn, grow, and lead. We believe there are various pathways to success and this program will work with each individual to reach their full potential.

OUR GOALS
INCREASE RETENTION RATE OF TEENAGE GIRLS IN TENNIS
Develop a team environment that allows the girls to build friendships, work together, and to grow in a non-competitive environment.
PROVIDE YOUNG WOMEN WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO ALLOW THEM TO THRIVE IN LEADERSHIP POSITIONS
Work collaboratively with the mentors and provide a strong network to assist them in achieving their personal goals.
INCREASE THE NUMBER OF FEMALE COACHES IN TENNIS
Provide Tennis Canada Instructor Course training throughout the duration of the program. All participants will receive a Community Tennis Facilitator training upon completion of the Inspire Mentorship Program and those that are eligible will have the opportunity to complete the Instructor Course certification simultaneously.
“Inspire Through Sport has inspiring instructors which leads to more inspiring coaches that come out of the program. That means we can all work together to make tennis a sport for life!”
