Isaac Donkor Foundation holds a 3-day tennis clinic

Isaac Donkor Foundation, a non-governmental organisation, on Saturday 29th to Monday 31st December 2018 put together a tennis clinic for juvenile tennis stars at the Isaac Donkor Foundation Sports Center in Ayi Mensah.

The event, which was meant to boost the performance of young and upcoming players within the Ayi-Mensah community attracted over 60 children aged 8 to 14 years. 

The 3-day event saw the participants taken through a variety of drills to improve specific aspects of their game, including serving, return of serve, baseline rallying, approaching the net, aggressive baseliner and counter puncher.

In her closing remarks, Emma Ofosuwaa Donkor, a sister to Isaac Donkor said, her brother has intended to make the event an annual affair hoping to introduce the children to the modern ways of the game.

“The Ghana Tennis Federation cannot do it alone so it’s a good thing that my team and I have come on board to help find an immediate solution to this downward trend. Returning to my motherland, Ghana, to give back to the society has always been a dream so we will work hard to achieve the best results", she added.

Resource persons present for the clinic included; International Tennis Federation (ITF) Level 2 Coach, Yahaya Maccauley and George Abban.
