Ghana Wheelchair Tennis under the auspices of Ghana Tennis Federation(GTF) with support from International Tennis Federation (ITF) successfully launched Wheelchair Tennis in the Central region at the Cape Coast Stadium over the weekend.

32 Players participated in the two-day training exercise led by Head Coach Yahya Macculey with support from current wheelchair/ GTF No. 1 Daniel Laryea.

The participants were taken through various techniques of playing tennis. There was time for them to practice what they had been taught, with many of the participants already showing prospects of becoming great wheelchair tennis players.

Head Coach Yahya Macaulay in an exclusive interview with ghanatennis.org said "I can see a lot of good players here. I have already identified two players."

Wheelchair Tennis Administrator Michael Sekyere stood on behalf of the Ghana Wheelchair Tennis Coordinator Henry Larbi and donated brand new rackets and tennis balls to the Cape Coast team.
