SBG hails tennis center in Clark City
Senator Christopher "Bong" Go lauded the upcoming Philippine Tennis Center in New Clark City as a significant development for nurturing young Filipino athletes and bolstering grassroots sports.
The facility, a collaboration between the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) and the Philippine Tennis Association (PHILTA), will span approximately 10 hectares and be built to international standards.
Go emphasized the importance of such projects in providing opportunities for Filipinos outside Metro Manila to hone their talents.
He believes that grassroots programs in barangays and schools are crucial for developing future champions, instilling discipline and hard work.
The success of young tennis star Alex Eala, who achieved significant milestones in international tennis, was cited as an example of what proper training can accomplish.
The Philippine Tennis Center aims to offer local players access to world-class training environments, similar to those experienced by Eala abroad, addressing the issue of financial constraints for many aspiring athletes.
