Program Impact
Through our National Training Center’s comprehensive programs, we have witnessed a remarkable increase in the number of Rwandan players participating in various ITF junior competitions year after year. This rise in participation is a testament to the effectiveness of our training and development initiatives.
The elevated level of tennis among Rwandan players is evident in their growing presence at regional competitions. All these players, having come through our training center, showcase the impact of our rigorous programs and dedicated coaching staff.
