as our Head Coach this season! 
Hello Everyone,
My name is Andres Findlay, and I am super excited to be a part of the Palgrave Tennis Club family. Just as a short introduction about myself, here's a little bit about my tennis journey... I fell in love with tennis when I was ten years old, the day I decided I would go with my Dad to the courts to see what tennis was all about. He gave me a racket to hit around with him and a friend, and from that moment, tennis changed my life for the better. Tennis has helped me develop some of my closest friendships and relationships, has kept me physically fit, and has provided various work opportunities. I have met and continue to work with incredible people of all ages and walks of life. I started coaching when I was fourteen years old which gave me a whole new level of appreciation for the game. I have coached at the Brampton Tennis Club, the Bramalea Tennis Club, the Inglewood Racquet Club, and in Palgrave last year. Along with coaching, I graduated from York University with a Bachelor of Commerce and a Bachelor of Education in June 2022. My goal as your Head Pro is to provide world class coaching, so that everyone can play at their highest level, win more matches, achieve their goals, and have FUN doing it!! For information regarding private, semi-private or small group lessons, you can reach me by phone/text at (647) 607-2657 or by email at [email protected] If you'd like to be a part of the Youth programs I'll be running, please click here for more info. For Adult please click here. I'm looking forward to another great season of tennis and am excited to meet and see you all at the courts this season! All the best, Andres We are happy to welcome and introduce Amir Davoodi
as our new Assistant Coach this season! 
Hello Everyone,
My name is Amir Davoodi, and I am thrilled to be joining the Palgrave Tennis Club as an Assistant Coach. A glimpse into my tennis journey … I’ve been passionate about tennis ever since I watched the unforgettable 2014 Wimbledon final on TV. Coming from a sporty family, I was amazed by the intensity, athleticism, and emotion of that match—it inspired me to pick up a racket the very next day. From that moment on, I fell in love with the sport. Tennis quickly became more than just a game for me; it has shaped my discipline, built lifelong friendships, and given me the opportunity to share my love for the sport with others. I have also been a member of the University of Guelph Tennis Team for the past three years where I’ve had the opportunity to compete against other universities across Ontario. It’s been an incredibly rewarding experience that has strengthened my game, built my confidence under pressure, and deepened my appreciation for the competitive side of tennis. I began coaching in 2022 and have since worked with players of all ages and skill levels. My coaching journey has included valuable experience under the mentorship of top professionals such as Giulio Morelli at Cutten Fields Tennis Club and Scott Hurtubise at the GSM Tennis Club, where I contributed to the development of both recreational and competitive players. I hold a ClubPro 1 Coaching Certification which I earned under the guidance of Andy Sutton. As one of the youngest coaches to achieve this certification, I’ve been able to refine my coaching approach early in my career, allowing me to deliver structured, high-quality instruction with energy and focus. At Palgrave Tennis Club, my goal is to create a supportive and motivating environment where players can develop their skills, build confidence, and truly enjoy the game. I’m especially excited to introduce Cardio Tennis—a fast-paced, high-energy program that combines fitness and tennis in a fun and social setting. Beyond improving performance, my ultimate aim is to inspire players to embrace tennis as a sport for life—one that brings joy, challenge, and connection at every stage. Please feel free to reach out to me by phone/text at (647) 833-4193 or by email at [email protected] if you have any questions, need more info about lessons, or just want to chat about upcoming Grand Slam predictions — I’m always happy to talk tennis! I look forward to an amazing season and can’t wait to see you all on the courts! All the best, Amir |
