Volunteers & Ball Crew

Ball persons receive accreditation granting site access, an official Psycho Bunny uniform, free parking where applicable, complimentary tickets, one free meal per shift, and an invitation to the Ball Crew celebration event.

All ball crew members must be available every day of the tournament, all day. Your supervisor will provide your daily schedule each morning.

You must first submit an online application. Tennis Canada will then contact you with the tryout dates. Attendance at all tryout days is mandatory to be considered. In Montreal, the selection process and training camp take place over three days, while in Toronto tryouts are held over two days.

For both the Montreal and Toronto tournaments, new ball persons must be older than 12 and under 16 years old during the National Bank Open.

In Montreal, registration is open from February until the week before tryouts. In Toronto, applications can be submitted from January 15 to May 1.

Wear clothing suitable for energetic physical activity and tennis or running shoes that do not mark the court. The final tryout session includes a match simulation, so basic knowledge of tennis rules and gameplay is recommended.
