The Anguilla Tennis Academy (ATA) is pleased to announce that it has facilitated an opportunity for one of its local coaches to attend a one-week High Performance training program at T Bar M Racquet Club in Dallas, Texas. Mr. Denny Derrick left Anguilla on Sunday, October 18th 2015 and is scheduled to return on October 25th. Denny is currently employed by the ATA to assist with its High Performance program and to direct the tennis program at Malliouhana, an Auberge Resort.
The Anguilla Tennis Academy has developed a great partnership with T Bar M Racquet Club over the years and many of its graduates who are currently on tennis athletic scholarships receive high performance training at T BAR M. Chris Wade, Athletic Director of T Bar M Racquet Club Dallas, Texas, said, “We are excited to have Denny Derrick here at T BAR M Racquet Club. He has demonstrated his passion for learning and teaching, and we are expecting great strides in his coaching development during his time here in Dallas. He will be working with the finest teaching staff in the U.S.A. We hope he enjoys the training as much as we enjoy having him here at T BAR M.” Denny is exceedingly grateful for this opportunity and has expressed gratitude to Mitch Lake, ATA Management Team and the Management and staff at T Bar M Racquet Club, for their support towards his development in the sport of tennis.
The Anguilla Tennis Academy (ATA) is a nonprofit organization established under the laws of Anguilla. For the past twenty (20) years, the ATA has been introducing tennis to the island of Anguilla as well as other surrounding countries. Mitch Lake, Founder of the Anguilla Tennis Academy, said: “I am confident that Denny will gain tremendous knowledge and skill from this High Performance training that will benefit the ATA and the children participating in our programs. Denny has positive work ethics and is passionate about the sport. It is my vision, and that of the ATA, to continue providing educational and professional development opportunities for its graduates and coaches.”
