Ho Tennis Club Holds Tennis clinic

Ho tennis club over the weekend held a tennis at the Ho tennis club. The one-day tennis clinic saw over 60 children between the ages of 5 to 14 years participating with support from Tennis Foundation Ghana and Bergin’s Outreach.

This year’s edition of the tennis clinic was led by Tennis Foundation Ghana President Roger Crawford who took the children through some rudiments of the game such as hand eye coordination, play and stay drill and fun games.

Speaking to ghanatennis.org Chairman of Ho Tennis Club Joseph Dzamesi said, ‘you can see the excitement on the children's faces after experiencing the game of tennis for the first time. We have planted a beautiful seed today, we hope to continue the development of these kids, hopefully get some tennis players out of them. My administration is looking to build a sustainable program of developing young people. We have a tennis coach in place who will be training the kids, especially during vacation. I need to thank the Tennis Foundation Ghana and Bergin’s Outreach for their support.

Head coach of Ho Tennis Club- in-charge of kids Tennis, Osman Kadri said, today’s event was very impressive, the enthusiasm from the children made the day such a lovely one. I would like to use this opportunity to acknowledge Mr. Roger and his team for leading the tennis clinic.

The Tennis Foundation Ghana President Roger Crawford expressed his satisfaction with the organization of the tennis clinic by Ho tennis club and commended the club members for the initiative.

“Tennis Foundation Ghana’s sole mission is to support the development of the game of tennis in the regions.” Mr. Roger Crawford stressed.
