On June 30, ‘Dalian Sports Center Cup’ Youth U14 Tennis Tournament came to a successful conclusion in the Sports Center after fierce competition, which kicked off the youth tennis regular seasons.
It is learned that through online registration of mobile APP and group competition, this Tournament adopted the system of group games and knockouts. Since there are only 20 participants allowed for this tournament, teenagers who finally got the place are all youth tennis elites in Dalian and many of whom are all champions and runner-ups in various tennis events.
In this competition, some kids stood out among others, and some kids received the first medal in life. Learning to play tennis from 8 years old, Wang Helin has talent and potential. It is the third year since he started to learn tennis. He has enormous energy inside the small body. His quick steps and solid basic skills mobilized his opponents to run all over the courts; Gao Jiexiong is an outstanding player among others. After having played tennis for 4 years, he was the top 8 in China Junior U12 Tennis Tournament. He played vigorously and patiently on tennis courts, and cheered himself up after winning each score, looking like a start player. Each kid on tennis courts has his/her own tennis dreams, and they shed sweat and worked hard on the training courts. Though they are young, they all push ahead courageously to realize their dreams.
On the competition day, the Sports Center organized a tennis communication activity for those who failed to sign up for this tournament and came to watch games. Coaches patiently answered questions posed by children and parents and provided guidance for them, which yielded twice the results with half the efforts for children to experience and master tennis skills.
In recent years, more and more teenagers in Dalian have developed interest into tennis. However, few tennis competitions are organized for teenagers. In accordance with features of youth tennis fans, and combined with advantages of rich tennis resources, the Sports Center will continuously organize tennis tournaments and public welfare trainings for teenagers, thus building regular tennis events in each month and providing more competition and communication platforms for teenagers. It is learned that adult tennis competitions will be held in July. Let us wait and see.
