Wanderers Club Legacy Tennis Academy hopes to give the sport horns

The Wanderers Club Legacy Tennis Academy is in full swing after kicking off with an opening exhibition match between coaches Vaughn Hunter and Tremayne Mitchell on January 20.

CEO of The Wanderers Club Sonja Shear said the launch and inauguration of the academy signified the club’s dedication to enhancing the prominence of tennis in the community and for its valued members.

“We are fully committed to delivering an unparalleled tennis experience that caters to individuals of all skill levels and age groups, from as young as four years old. With the invaluable expertise of our new professional management team, who are not only accomplished coaches and players but also possess a genuine passion for the sport and player development, we believe that we provide a truly transformative tennis experience.”

Hunter said the launch of the academy was an exciting time. “It was all about getting familiar with the members of the club and showcasing our skills as coaches. Our journey began by pitching a proposal for a tender, and part of the process was to revamp and upgrade all 10 courts and lights at Wanderers Club to make Wanderers the place to be for tennis lovers.”

Mitchell added that one of their goals as coaches was to bring a high level of tennis to Wanderers which was why, as former professionals, they opened the courts with a game to showcase what it was they were trying to build at the club.

He said, “We are excited to bring tennis back to Wanderers and hope to give it horns this year.”
