Quadri Brings Fusion Tennis Foundation to Nigeria

Over 124 tennis players have assembled for the maiden edition of the Fusion Sports Foundation in partnership with the Lagos Lawn Tennis Club Summer Tennis Clinic.

The Summer Tennis clinic and tournament which commenced on the 9th of August is aimed at given a platform to non-privileged who are talented but have no platform to showcase their worth.
The former Nigerian Tennis Junior Champion and organiser of the programme, Fuad Quadri, said in Lagos that the Tennis Foundation is to keep the children busy through the game of tennis from any form of social vices.

According to Quadri, “this is the sport that gave me everything in life, it is all about creating opportunities for the kids in Lagos through sports. I grew up in Lagos Island, an environment filled with crimes and all sort of illegal things and this summer tennis programme is to keep them busy and to keep them away from the streets.

“What we do in the Foundation is to get many children as much as possible into to the game of tennis and sports in general and channel a plan for their lives and also see if they could play the game as a professional in the future and the non-talented could be helped to get scholarship to study in United States of America.”
The Fusion Tennis Foundation Summer Clinic and tournament will end on Sunday at the Lagos Lawn Tennis Club, Onikan, Lagos
