Panther Tennis Committee

A collective parent group, the ‘Parents Tennis Committee’ [PTC] has been formed, so parents may work together in a joint effort to reinstate the tennis program as swiftly & as best possible.

We acknowledge this is a new committee, in a new environment, which will need to grow and change regularly to best suit the student tennis program needs. We are grateful for those parents willing to contribute to this collaborative effort. Currently, our main objective is to serve the students of ISB with a quality tennis program for all levels of tennis. Our current aim is to jump-start this program at the start of Term 2: October 29th.
