FRIENDS
OF ACES TENNIS
Friends of Aces Tennis
is a concept to bring group of people together, who through their generous
donation and support to develop tennis in this part of the world, in
the interest of the Nigerian children whom mostly come from modest homes.
We shall, through this concept, raise funds to develop and promote tennis
in this part of the world.
Under this concept, we are to raise
funds to be able to continue with our numerous junior tennis championships,
organise tennis clinics and also to build a team of young kids that
shall grow to be world beaters. All these shall be done in order to
encourage the Nigerian children to grow in the game and make career
out of it like their counterparts in the other side of the world.
PURPOSE THIS CONCEPT
The country of Nigeria has a large population
with a considerable amount of natural sporting talents. And whenever
Nigeria has been able to develop this reservoir of talents, the country
has excelled on the international scene in that particular discipline.
However, at Aces Tennis, we believe that in tennis, the immense potential
of Nigerian children is still a long way from being fully developed.
The sport of tennis in Nigeria has suffered
a much more severe degree. This is because by its very nature the success
of tennis is much more dependent on the organization and administration
of coaching, training, competitions and other events. While this responsibility
has traditionally been left to Government-funded statutory bodies, at
Aces we believe that there is an important supportive role to be played
by private individuals and private sector organisations. An
important part of our mission is to discover and develop young local
talents into tennis players of international caliber.
Aces’ contribution to this effort is the birth of this concept
of FRIENDS OF TENNIS which shall focused on organizing tennis championships,
to develop a team that shall be given exposure to grow like their counter
parts in the other side of the world, and having already successfully
organized a number of such championships, we discover that our Friends
of Tennis shall truncate the interest and development
of the game among the young ones.
