Will to Win children go to Dubai tournament on exchange programme

Will to Win tennis, the UK 's largest private provider of public tennis based in Chiswick is taking a group of junior players to Dubai , United Arab Emirates for the WTA Dubai Duty Free Tennis Tournament in February.

 

The children will act as ball kids and also take part in a tennis match and camp. The event is part of a long-term exchange programme, with the Will to Win visitors staying with host families and the Dubai ball kids invited to London in the summer, to take part in Will to Win tennis camps.

 

Steve Riley worked in Dubai in the 1980s at the Sheraton Hotel and remarked �Since winning the Dubai Open in 1987 the event really has become Open and the tennis scene in Dubai dramatically moved forward to keep pace with the rest of the city. I am proud to have worked there and am looking forward to returning and giving the visiting kids a chance to see top tennis, and the different cultures and lifestyles in Dubai , in this educational character building experience. We also want players in Dubai to feel welcome to visit any of our centres in London , and hope that some of the ballkids will take part in our summer camp programme.�

 

Clark Francis founder of CF tennis commented. �The experience of being a ball kid at such an event is one you will remember all your life, it will broaden your knowledge, give confidence and be a great educational experience, we are delighted to be able to give the Will to Win kids this opportunity and we hope some of our kids will benefit from the exchange by visiting London in the summer�
