DLTA to hold Inter-School Tennis Tournament New Delhi, July 18 The tournament is designed to unearth potential talent, which otherwise lies dormant as many of the students these days give only secondary importance to sports, due to the burden of studies. Chief Administrator of the DLTA Col. Amarbir Singh said a large number of schools were expected to field their teams for this tournament. Some of the prominent teams taking part are Delhi Public School, Modern School, Gyan Bharati School, Laxman Public School and Col. Satsangi School, Mehrauli. Though Delhi boasts of many tennis academies and other tennis facilities, quality talent very rarely comes out these tennis centres. The DLTA itself boasts of a number of courts, but its training facilities are beyond the reach of the ordinary children, and therefore, only tournaments such as the proposed inter-school competition would enable them to soak in the facilities and ambience at the citadel of Indian tennis. Col Amarbir Singh said the inter-school tournament is designed to foster “team spirit, leadership qualities and confidence among the children”. Such a tournament is sure to give a big thrust to tennis activity at the school level, as the stamp of recognition by the DLTA is a very big morale-booster for children who aspire to make it big, but belong to humble background, in the absence of proper institutional support. Col Amarbir Singh said the matches will be played on a knockout basis, and all the matches will be best of three tie-break sets. He said each tie shall consist of three matches, which will include two singles and one doubles. For the team championship, a maximum of four players can be nominated in each category. A player can participate in a maximum of two events, one team and one individual. The last date of entries is July 31 at 5 p m. The tournament will be held in individual and team events. |
