Rebel Tennis Club Easter Tennis Camp began on Saturday
The programme is designed to last one week, during which aspiring tennis players can come and enhance their fitness and skills and will receive certification upon completion.
Coach Andre Erskine was asked about the camp objectives and stated, “the aim is to basically test and spot new talent and, for those who are already playing, to strengthen their skills for the existing players that are already involved. This (programme) is basically for the East Bank area, the Diamond area, and the surrounding areas in Diamond”.
Coach Erskine also stated that the camp was aiming to target specifically the age group of 6 to 14 years.

Young talents attending the camp will be pleased to know that even after the one-week period, the Rebel Tennis Club will continue to provide opportunities for the players to grow and enhance their skill sets.
“We usually have continuous tournaments. Really, top players just came up from the US training, and the club boasts most of the top junior players in the country. We have the number one to number three of the 18 players for Guyana, and we also have the number one and number two Under-14 girls ‘champions as well,” the Coach explained.
Rebel Tennis Club wished to extend its gratitude to the sponsors Smalta, Guyana Stride592, Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry Limited, AthletEdge, Acers Tennis Lca and Grannum’s Restaurant Grill & Catering for making this event possible.
