Crafting Champions and Fostering Lifelong Love for the Game

Adamsons Tennis Academy is run by USPTA professional Jonathan Adamson. During the winter season, Jonathan offers some instruction at Carleton University, as well as offering Gym Jam Tennis to schools across Ottawa. During the summer season, ATA’s home base is the MARCH TENNIS CLUB in Kanata. We host all types of tennis instruction from children to adults, beginner to advanced, recreational to competitive. We have experience in all aspects of tennis, and Jonathan has been involved in the Ottawa tennis community for over 30 years as a player and coach. Our specialty is making sure tennis is taught in a fun, relaxed atmosphere, and we take pride in providing instruction and programming for all levels and tennis.

Camp and Program Staff

We have a “homegrown” staff that is led by University students who grew up and participated in our programs as children. Our staff is rounded out by local high school students and University students who compete in our club programs or school programs. These students are always high energy and help us create that wonderful ‘fun’ learning atmosphere that we strive to meet with all our programming.
