About the Company
The idea and the initial group formed in 2016. It began with a coach whose dream was to have a centre of his very own, and an Edmonton businessman who discovered a personal passion for tennis fifteen years ago, when it transformed his health for the better. What started as a casual idea became more clearly defined in 2021-22: IQ Tennis and Pickleball Centre was registered as an NPO in Alberta, and the core IQ Team garnered the support of the City of Edmonton by identifying a huge demand for indoor tennis and pickleball facilities in the city and surrounding areas.
