Big congratulations to Coach Spencer and his sister-in-law, Jaime – aka Coach Marshall’s wife – on winning the 2026 Rackets & Runners Mixed Doubles Championship! 🏆

Over three days and four matches, Spencer and Jaime battled their way to the title, including a close three-set win in the quarterfinals before taking the final in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2.
And Jaime’s journey makes this one extra special. She started with Summer Smash as a Beginner (1.0) in 2021 and is now competing regularly at the 4.0 level in leagues and local tournaments 🚀

Five years. From complete Beginner to 9.0 mixed doubles tournament winner 🥇

This is a great example of what the Summer Smash Progression can do, building players with the skills, confidence and tools to excel on court for life.

Congrats, Spencer & Jaime! And Marshall… we’ll let you take the newlywed assist credit on this one 😉💍🎾

To our Summer Smash community, thank you for another summer we will not forget 🎾

This summer, we helped over 500 beginners of all ages start learning the game of tennis:
🤝 We watched kids build friendships that will carry into the school year
💪 We watched adults find community on the court after a long day of work

But more than anything, it is the little moments that make this all worth it 💫:

✏️ A student handing their coach a drawing of the two of them on the court
🗣️ A family requesting the same coach for private lessons because their kid would not stop talking about them
🥹 A parent smiling from the sidelines watching their kid’s first real rally

These are the moments we hold onto long after the season ends 🫶
None of this happens without you choosing to spend your summer with us ☀️

Whether you took one class or played the entire summer, you are part of what makes this community special 💛

Tennis does not stop when summer ends, and neither do we.

See you on the courts this fall 🍂

The kind of thank you note that makes an entire season worth it 💛

𝐓𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐬 𝐓𝐢𝐩 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐏𝐭. 𝟗: 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞💡

Which hand actually drives your two-handed backhand? 👇

A common mistake is gripping too tight with the bottom (dominant) hand, which locks the wrist and kills racquet head speed

Your non-dominant hand (the top hand on the grip) is the one that should generate the drive, much like a forehand swing 💥

To feel it, release the pinky of your dominant hand off the handle through contact 🤙

This frees up the bottom hand and lets the top hand take over, producing more racquet head speed, topspin, and a cleaner finish 🎾

Next time you’re on court, hit a few backhands with your pinky off the grip and feel where the power actually comes from 🎯

𝐓𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐬 𝐓𝐢𝐩 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐏𝐭. 𝟖: 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐑𝐞𝐢𝐝💡

Where should your eyes be at impact? 👀

During and even slightly after impact your eyes should be on the ball that you are hitting. The king of this is the GOAT 🐐

Keeping your eyes down and head still at impact stops your body from lifting or rotating too early. This helps you maintain your balance, while making impacts cleaner and more centred — resulting in more consistent and higher quality shot production. 🎾

Next time you’re on court, try holding your eyes on the impact even after the ball has left your strings 👀

Small habit, big difference in quality and consistency 🎯

Reel Talk with Marshall Pt. 6 🎙️
We gave our coaches a hypothetical $500 and one simple question... What would you spend it on in Vancouver? 💸

Some answers were responsible. Some wanted to double it, triple it, and then buy the students new tennis gear with the winnings 🎾

Investing in the future of tennis... one risky parlay at a time 😂
Would you trust these coaches with your money?

🎾 Tennis Tip Tuesday Pt. 7: Featuring Coach April💡

How can you improve your preparation to be more consistent and on time for both groundstrokes and volleys? 👇

Watch any pro or advanced player, and you will see it before every single shot: a small hop at the moment their opponent makes impact with the ball. This is called the 𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩 🦶

The spit step loads your legs and sets you in motion to move and explode in any direction 💥

Add the split step to your preparation and watch the rhythm of your preparation and reaction time improve 🎯
