Speaking to ghanatennis.org, President of the foundation, Mr. Robert Amartey said, ‘This is the sport that gave me everything in life, it is all about creating opportunities for the kids in Adabraka and its environs through sports.’

This year, I decided to take the children through stimulating tennis-specific coordination activities that will lead to proper development of fundamentals. Players will establish skills that allow them to cooperate, rally and practice with each other well. The children here have really improved, and the numbers have also increased compared to last year.’ He added.
