Germiston tennis trainers from Ace Tennis Academy and Coached by Nel Academy, came together to host the recent Tennis Invitational Tournament.<\/p>\n
The invitational was held at the Tennis Academy of Ted Roberts, in Edenvale, and saw young tennis players from Brakpan, Germiston, Edenvale, Kempton Park, Alberton, Thokoza and Katlehong participating.<\/p>
The organisers hope that these types of tournaments will encourage children to pursue their passion for tennis.<\/p>\n
\u201cDue to a lack of support and organisation for leagues in the greater Gauteng East area, we, as coaches, have taken it upon ourselves to create a friendly and informal environment for children to compete.<\/p>
\u201cIt is hoped that through these tournaments the children will be able to improve their skills, while becoming accustomed to a competitive setting,\u201d Etienne de Wet, from Ace Tennis Academy, said.<\/p>\n
The coaches hope to grow the tournament in the coming months.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe also plan to keep the fees for these tournaments as low as possible, so that young players from all backgrounds are able to compete,\u201d added de Wet.<\/p>\n
