Andrew’s journey began with a simple love for the game. As a player himself, he recognized the transformative power of racquet sports – not just in terms of physical fitness, but in building confidence, fostering friendships, and creating a sense of community. This realization sparked a mission: to make tennis and pickleball accessible and enjoyable for players of all ages and skill levels in Zorra.

What sets Goodwin Racquet Sports apart is Andrew’s unparalleled expertise. As one of the few instructors in Canada holding nationally recognized certifications in both tennis and pickleball, Andrew brings a level of professionalism and knowledge that is rare in the industry. His Club Pro 1 certification and completion of the NCCP Pickleball Club Pro 1 pilot course ensure that students receive top-tier instruction based on the latest techniques and best practices.

Since its inception, Goodwin Racquet Sports has become more than just a coaching service. It’s a cornerstone of the local sports community, nurturing young tennis talents and introducing adults to the fast-growing world of pickleball. Through group lessons, private coaching, and social leagues, Andrew and his team are creating a vibrant, inclusive environment where players can learn, improve, and most importantly, have fun.

Looking ahead, Goodwin Racquet Sports is poised for growth, with plans for an outdoor facility in Thamesford by Summer 2025. This expansion represents not just a physical space, but a growing community of racquet sports enthusiasts. As the business evolves, one thing remains constant: Andrew’s commitment to providing a fun, welcoming learning environment where players can discover their potential and fall in love with the game, just as he did.
