 A team of four tennis players, made up of George Darko, Wisdom NA-Adjrago, Japheth Bagerbaseh and Pascal Ziyab Alome ,  flew to  Morocco  last Monday for a two-week training tour.

The tour, sponsored by McDan Group of Companies, is expected to improve the skills of the players for them to compete favourably during international tournaments.

Briefing the Graphic Sports about the tour, the Secretary to the Ghana Tennis Federation, Philippina Frimpong said the package included accommodation, feeding and pocket money that would motivate them focus on the training tour at the ITF High Performance Centre in Casablanca.
