Professional coach Kate Glancy of Fraser Valley Racquets (FVR) on Old Yale Road began her training in England. Glancy, 24, was ranked number one in 1983 B.C. women's double and number three in singles. A former junior Wimbledon competitor, Glancy began tennis full-time at the age of 16. Previous to her full-time play, Glancy won the first under-12 British competition, the Grass Court-Junior Championship of Great Britain under-18, and was ranked number three in the juniors in Britain. During Glancy's tour on the tennis circuit, her parents moved from England to Western Canada. Glancy had played internationally. She was invited to play in several large competitions including the sectionals for the Pacific North-west, the U.S. nationals and the Avon Futures. In 1979, she was ranked number two in England. The women's tennis association offered her a wild card in 1980 which allowed her ranking to compete in the main-draw for Japan and Hong Kong. By 1981, Glancy had played in the main-draw of the Europe-Italian Open, and the qualifying round of French, German and Australian Open. During March, 1982, she ranked fourth in the South American, Brazil circuit. Deciding to play for Canadian standings in 1983, Glancy began participating in several B.C. tournaments. Glancy settled down with her parents in Abbotsford, after competing in the quarter finals of the 1983 Molson's Canadian Nationals. Glancy spent a year attending Fraser Valley College, studying Russian and emphasizing on Eastern European culture. At the time of this photo Glancy was instructing all levels of tennis at FVRC with the hopes of earn sufficient funds to return to school, or travel to further her studies. She had travelled all over the world, and competed against some of the very best but Glancy, settling into a routine, was unsure of her future plan. She did say however, "My whole life isn't going to hinge on my tennis." Glancy was ranked number seven in Canada for the 1983 season.
