With the most competitive junior programs in Calgary and the best coaches in Alberta, Aforza is also all about people. We’ve built a fun, family-friendly, welcoming environment for players of all ages and all skill levels. Whether you’re a junior looking to compete nationally or an adult who’s never picked up a racket, we’ve got something for you. We are open to the public, offer optional memberships, and run professional programs at schools and outdoor facilities all over Calgary. The Aforza Pro Shop provides stringing service, racquets, tennis clothing and shoes, and there’s great food available in our fully licensed lounge.
Aforza has been serving Calgarians since 1974 when it was established by Rico Policarpo. Rico aspired to make tennis accessible to everyone in the city throughout the winter months. He successfully achieved this goal when he covered six outdoor public tennis courts with a bubble and attached an Atco trailer to serve as a clubhouse.
In summer 2000, Aforza expanded with four new indoor courts, a large clubhouse with men's and women's locker rooms, a well-equipped pro shop and a fully serviced lounge. We are now the largest public indoor tennis club in Western Canada.
Aforza has a long history of supporting and developing competitive tennis in Alberta. We have produced nine National Junior Champions, with many juniors having attained a national ranking of six or better. We host 16 tournaments a year for Tennis Alberta, which is more than every other club in Alberta combined.
