We received a positive response regarding our proposed trip over Chinese New Year. With time short and CNY trips already organized we have decided to make the trip over the Easter Break. We would like to take players 9 to 18yrs of age. Limited numbers.
There are several reasons why we believe our Hong Kong kids would gain from such an experience
Matchplay against top junior players. CITC boasts the No 1 Philippine 10/U boy and No 4 14/U girl as well as many competitive players. –CITC has tremendous depth of players unlike Hong Kong.
Opportunity to play on shale (clay equivalent) – Helps with point construction/mental toughness as well as stamina and fitness. Just look at the top players on tour, most come from clay court backgrounds.
- 5 days, 5 hours a day coaching and drilling. Sometimes the intensity is increased when there are less home distractions/comforts, and kids are forced to focus on their tennis.
- OTR V CITC Challenge Match (the first of many to come). There are not enough team style matches and this is great team building in an otherwise individual sport.
- Coaching by Graeme, Jason, Adrian, Matthew, Sean, Nathan depending on numbers.
- Ratio 5 players : 1 coach
- Play against CITC Coaches. A chance to play against more senior/experienced players who will be able to expose weaknesses and give ideas for areas to target in future.
- Independence and cultural experience. Players will work on self motivation and will see that these kids in Cebu. Although limited in many ways, have the desire to succeed. They will hopefully be inspired by the experience.
- 5 Star Resort Accommodation Safety as well as fun!
