Padel & Friends
https://www.padelandfriends.com
VESA x Padel & Friends
In an exciting development for the local padel community, Padel & Friends has announced the appointment of Jorge Vila Jr as their new Director of Padel. With a wealth of experience and a deep passion for the sport, Vila Jr is set to enhance the club's offerings, fostering growth and engagement among players of all levels. His leadership is anticipated to bring innovative programs and events, further establishing Padel & Friends as a premier destination for padel enthusiasts.
Padel is a dynamic racket sport that blends elements of tennis and squash, played on an enclosed court smaller than a traditional tennis court. Typically enjoyed in doubles, players use solid, perforated rackets to hit a ball similar to a tennis ball but with slightly less pressure. The game begins with an underhand serve, and players can strategically use the surrounding glass and metal mesh walls to play rebounds, adding a unique dimension to the sport. Scoring in padel mirrors that of tennis, making it familiar to enthusiasts of traditional racket sports.
Marshes Pickleball
VESA x Marshes PB
This summer, VESA is running the pickleball programs at The Marshes Golf Course, and we couldn’t be more excited! With eight outdoor courts set in a beautiful location, it’s the perfect place to get out and play. We’ll be offering a range of exciting programs for players of all levels, including lessons, tournaments, and events. Whether you’re looking to learn, improve, or just enjoy a fun game with friends, we’ve got something for everyone. It’s shaping up to be an amazing summer of pickleball, and we can’t wait to see you on the courts!
CFMWS x VESA
We had the great pleasure to be part of the Champions Program for CFMWS, an amazing initiative that gives kids from military families the chance to stay active and try out different sports. Thanks to the funding from the OSEG Foundation, we were able to run sessions at the RA Centre and introduce the kids to many different sports. Some of the sports we taught were floor hockey, badminton, tennis, soccer, pickleball, and many more. A big highlight was having Ottawa RedBlacks and Ottawa Charge players come out to join in, play with the kids, and share their experiences as athletes. Seeing the excitement and energy was incredible, and it was clear how much this program meant to the kids. VESA is proud to be part of a program that brings communities together through sport, and we are looking forward to future collaborations! Big thanks to Joel & Catherine for their leadership.
Ottawa Beach Tennis
Excited for another season of sun, sand and smashes at the Ottawa Tennis Club! This year we’ve expanded our offering to a popular Friday night matchplay under the lights. There’s no better way to end the week than to get together and play BT with friends. We will also be hosting a ITF BT10 Tournament on July 12th & 13th, come watch some of the best players in Canada and abroad compete.
