Meanwhile, La Toya George, Sales and Marketing manager at Coreas/Hazells Inc, in charge of the Pine Hill brand, expressed satisfaction with her companyâs association with the pre-school tennis exercise.
âWe are happy to work with Grassroots to have this programme available for the pre-schools; it is good to have the youngsters out, not just to have them sitting down …. Tennis teaches them lots of different skills: the basics about actually playing the sport ⦠It teaches them about team work and team play,â George said.
She was also high in praise of the Grassroot Tennis Clubâs efforts to keep tennis alive in St Vincent and the Grenadines.
âGrassroot has a very aggressive, progressive programme ⦠They normally come out and reach out to us and we normally respond⦠We believe in the programmes that they have ⦠We are happy to be part of whatever and do what we can do,â she concluded.(RT)
