Tennis Olympiad and Fun Day on tomorrow at NRC

Fun Day as a special tennis event to be held tomorrow at the National Racquet Centre. The activity, which is geared for persons from 12 years and over, is funded by the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA) and is held in observance of World Olympic Day which was celebrated June 23rd.
Last year the promotional activity attracted over 30 participants with the feature exercise being cardio tennis which is a type of tennis highly recognized for fitness benefits rather than competitive gains. This year’s event will no doubt provide competitive tennis oriented activities, highlighting elements of tennis technique and tactic. More emphasis will however be placed on fitness activities and competition designed for public participation and to illustrate the physical demands of tennis. Information will also be provided about The Olympic Movement and Tennis as an Olympic Sport.
2016 Tennis Olympiad and Fun Day tomorrow June 26th at the National Racquet Centre (Woolford Avenue & Camp Streets) starts from 09:00am and run to 3:00pm. All members of the public who wish to pursue tennis as a recreational sport will have an opportunity to try out the sport, watch advanced players, meet tennis coaches and join a club of their choice.
