The Guyana Lawn Tennis Association (GLTA) will be hosting its 2010 Mini-Tennis Interschool competition this Sunday, at the National Gymnasium, starting from 09:00hrs and run until 13:00hrs.

At the last programme which was held in December, St. Angela’s Primary received an award for being the Best School to adopt the game as Physical Education in addition to participating in the competition.
The children who excel in this competition are usually earmarked for further development and are encouraged to join the National Squad to further enhance their game to an advanced level.
The day’s activities will feature a round-robin competition with prizes lined up for Best School, Best Teacher, Under 8 and 10 Boys Winners & Runners-up, Under 8 and 10 Girls Winners & Runners-up.
Coordinator of the Schools Tennis Initiative program and National Junior Coach, Ms. Shelly Daly-Ramdyhan said she expects to see great competition from the young players.

Teachers were exposed to playing, competing and scoring.
Competitions in these areas are scheduled to take place during the school summer break.
