The two finalists were Alexander Wallace and Marvin Hazel with Alexander taking the winning trophy. All participants received certificates of participation. Many are continuing to play with the help of some senior players on the island. The Government of Anguilla is taking interest especially as the response this year was so good and so many children showed interest and progress. Mitchelle Lake is planning another bigger and better tennis academy next summer with more children taking part.
Plans are to have the courts lighted so that play can continue into the evening.
He will be seeking sponsorship locally and abroad for the equipment necessary for this important venture of bringing tennis to the children of Anguilla. Mitch commented, I am overwhelmed by the many participants in this year's tennis camp. A number of the children in attendance have the potential to be great players. I hope we can work together to maintain the interest in tennis on the island. Read more news about 1997 .
