Play & Stay Tennis was developed and is administered by the International Tennis Federation (ITF). The equipment – lightweight racquets and colourful tennis balls – are specially designed by the ITF for young children to use with ease and to enjoy the game from the first lesson.
Play & Stay is recognised worldwide and each country’s national tennis association’s programme is modified according to its particular needs.
During the 2016 Christmas term, Gore Family Foundation’s (GFF) Play & Stay tennis coach, Evan Williams (ably assisted by coach Valencia White), focused on remedial training plus lots of fun activities at Gospel Refuge, Sylvia Foote, Amy Bailey, Arnold Road, St John’s, Sandy Park, Sandhurst, St Anne’s, Mission Hall Methodist and Chetolah Park basic schools.
