The Kids displayed exceptional tennis skill and immense enthusiasm.

Dr. Kwame Aniapam Boafo, founder of the La Constance Tennis Center congratulated the Kids and said he was grateful once again to Coach Glenn Adu Agyei, Assistant Coach Elizabeth Opoku Mankosah and Administrator Issac Offei for their continued dedication to making the Center sustainable. He commended the Stadium and the Pilanzy Tennis Academies for honoring the invitation to participate in the tournament.
