Dear PRC Members,
I hope you're all enjoying a fantastic summer both on and off the court! As we head into the week of August 11th, I wanted to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for being a part of the growing Premier Racquet Clubs community.
This is an exciting time across all of our locations. With new programming being rolled out, tournament season approaching, and construction milestones on the horizon, there’s never been more momentum. Whether you're training for high performance, enjoying a weekly round robin, or picking up a racquet for the first time, our mission remains the same: to deliver an exceptional experience for every player, every time.
Stay tuned for important updates, upcoming events, and a few surprises we’re excited to share soon. As always, thank you for your continued support—we're proud to be building something special together.
See you on the courts!
Warm regards, Karl Hale - President - Premier Racquet Clubs
Top 5 Ways to Improve Your Tennis Game This Winter in Ontario
Powered by Premier Racquet Clubs
Ontario winters don't have to slow down your tennis progress. In fact, they’re the perfect time to sharpen your skills indoors at Premier Racquet Clubs. With world-class facilities, experienced coaches, and year-round programming, here’s how you can take your game to the next level—even when it's snowing outside.
1) Join a Winter Coaching Program
Whether you're a beginner or advanced competitor, our indoor tennis coaching programs at PRC Markham, Brampton, and Mississauga are designed to build skills, confidence, and consistency. Choose from private lessons, semi-privates, or group sessions with certified professionals.
2) Level Up in Weekly Clinics
Our adult and junior clinics focus on everything from technique to tactics, footwork to fitness. Clinics are offered throughout the week to fit your schedule, and are a fun, social way to improve with others at your level.
3) Compete Indoors, Stay Sharp
Stay match-ready by entering PRC tournaments, match play nights, and league play. Competing regularly keeps your mental game sharp and your timing intact—even when the courts outside are frozen.
4) Train at Our Heated Bubble Courts
No need to pause your routine—PRC’s climate-controlled indoor bubble courts ensure year-round play, free from rain, wind, or snow. All our locations feature professionally maintained hard courts and excellent lighting for high-performance play.

PRC Markham Tips of the Week – August 11, 2025
Tennis Tip of the Week
– Mastering the Split Step One of the most overlooked skills in tennis is the split step—a small hop that helps you stay balanced and ready just as your opponent makes contact with the ball. At PRC Markham, we've seen players at all levels improve instantly by timing this move right. Pro Tip: Just before your opponent hits the ball, execute a light hop and land on the balls of your feet. This readies your body to move in any direction with quick first steps and sharper reactions.
Pickleball Tip of the Week
Dink with Purpose The dink isn’t just a soft shot—it's a strategic tool to control the pace and draw your opponents into awkward positions at the kitchen line. Pro Tip: Aim for a low, cross-court dink with slight backspin to make it harder for your opponent to attack. Keep your paddle out in front and use your shoulder (not your wrist) for a more consistent, controlled stroke.
