Kenzie Vincent, Tennis Canada Certified Instructor

Hello, I'm Kenzie and I am currently a first year student in Education at the University of Regina. I became involved in Tennis accidentally after I met a young student from my elementary school that asked if I could come and play with him. At the local tennis courts, I started playing with his parents who encouraged me to join the local tennis club. The local club persuaded me to take the Instructor Tennis course where I met David Phillips, who has since pushed me to pursue a career in tennis. I look forward to sharing my passion and enthusiasm with others.
