Winnipeg, MB (TM) – As part of the ongoing relationship between Manitoba and Saskatchewan, the top U12 players from each province participated in a recent regrouping in Winnipeg. The players worked hard under the watchful eye of Bob Brett, who has made a commitment to visiting the Prairie Region several times throughout the winter months.

In addition, the players were put through their paces by Tennis Canada’s Richard Crowell, who conducted fitness tests for all of the players. It was very important for the young athletes to see where they stack up compared to National and International standards and what areas they need to focus on to improve their fitness level, which will have a major impact on their overall tennis game.

Richard also conducted fitness tests for all of Tennis Manitoba’s U14-U18 Provincial Team members and worked with the junior players at the Winnipeg Winter Club Academy, which is headed up by Provincial Coach, Peter Otto.

The support from Tennis Canada is greatly appreciated and the players and coaches look forward to putting in the hard work that is necessary to reach the next level of performance.
