Good question! I Love Tennis was designed to foster an active tennis community in Toronto. It is an online meeting place for everyone who loves to play tennis. Whether you’re on your way to the Roger’s Cup or are learning to swing -- all skill levels are welcome!

Once you sign up for I Love Tennis, you can create a personal profile page which lists your NTRP (tennis skill level), your Tennisology (a short description of what you’re looking to get from the game), your playing time preferences, and which type of match you would prefer. Search for other Toronto players and add them to your Tennis Buddies, exchange messages to set up a game, or use Post & Play to call out for a match to everyone on I Love Tennis. Choose up to 5 Favourite Courts to find other players near you, or discover courts in neighbourhoods convenient to you by using the Tennis Courts list. You can also search for tennis stores, events, coaches, clubs, and camps, and reach out to tennis enthusiasts in your community. Join the game, make a (friendly) match!

I Love Tennis is a non-profit project run by a group of committed volunteers (that’s us!). We believe that the city’s parks, clubs, and community centres offer a terrific space to have fun, meet new friends, and stay active. We designed the site for tennis players of every level, including those looking to get into the game for the first time.

Absolutely! I Love Tennis is a free site. There is no charge to use it, and we will never require that you pay to continue using the site. However, if you use I Love Tennis from your mobile device, you will be responsible for any fees associated with internet usage and/or text messaging as determined by your mobile service plan.
