The JN Open Tennis Championship served up quite an experience for 27 students who were chosen to participate in a one-day kiddie's tennis clinic at the Liguanea Club recently.

Held for the second time, the participants, most of whom are enrolled in primary schools participating in the JN School Savers Programme, were exposed to the basic elements of the game so as to increase their understanding of the sport and, possibly, to peak their interest.

The kiddie's clinic hopes to increase its target to accommodate more students enrolled at the primary-school level. Currently, 56 schools participate in the JN School Savers Programme
