At the camp the students will be put through 5-6 hours of rigorous tennis training and Physical training and will spend the evenings learning Thai culture through interaction with local kids.

Champions are often born out of encouragement, in today’s world exposure to children is essential part of their development, our aim is to give the child his/ her first international exposure, which could help in altering their perception and importantly boosting their self confidence, Mr. Joshi added.
