headpro@kewgardenstennis.ca (416) 699-1635 ext 3

Hello everyone, my name is Adam Baranowski and I am really excited and proud to be the new Head Pro for Kew Gardens. It will be hard to follow the terrific job Ray has done, but I will also bring a tremendous passion and enthusiasm for the game, extensive playing and teaching experience and a professional work ethic to the position.
I am now 31, but I began playing tennis with my dad in Poland at age 7 using a wooden racquet on a parking lot! After coming to Canada at age 10,
I continued to work hard to improve my game. I have very fond memories of the Kew especially after winning the Provincial Championships U14, U16 and U18 here. At age 18, I was ranked #1 in Canada winning the Canadian National title followed by a full scholarship to Nick Bollettieri’s Academy. Before attending University in the States, I was Boris Becker’s hitting partner for one year and was ranked on the ATP circuit. I am Coach 3 certified and I am currently enrolled in Coach 4. I am Club Pro 2 and PTR Professional Certified and I was a Provincial coach for the U14 and U18 Nationals. For the past three years I was the Assistant Pro and Head of Junior Development at Donalda Golf and Country Club. I would like to extend my thanks to the Board of Directors for giving me this exciting opportunity I am looking forward to meeting you all this season and seeing you on court!

Hi, my name is Stefan D’Almeida and I am the new Assistant Head Pro at Kew Gardens. I was born and raised in Zimbabwe and only recently moved to Canada in the spring of 2007. I was the top junior in Zimbabwe from U12 to U18 and represented the country around Africa and in Europe. When I was 15 and 16 years old, I received a full scholarship to the International Tennis Federation in South Africa. I then obtained a full scholarship to Florida A&M University. For two years I played on the professional circuit and represented Zimbabwe in the Davis Cup in 2005/2006. In Zimbabwe I started working with the high performance juniors and since then have been pursuing coaching. Since arriving in Canada I have done my acceleration courses to get into Coach 2, have coached at three different tennis clubs around Toronto and have traveled as a coach with one of Canada’s top juniors. I am very excited to join the Kew Gardens team and look forward to having a great summer!
