Sydney Peters, Junior Instructor

Hi everyone! My name is Sydney Peters and I am excited to be a part of the Kingston Tennis Club this summer. I have just completed my undergraduate degree in Life Sciences at Queen’s University, and I am staying in Kingston this summer to complete a Certificate in Disability and Physical Activity. Tennis has always been a big component of my life as I was a high-performance junior tennis player growing up, competing in provincial, national, and international tournaments. I continued to play tennis throughout University playing on the Queen’s Tennis Club, and got the opportunity to be the Captain this past year. I look forward to meeting everyone and seeing you out on the courts!
