The new president of the Board of Directors of the Potosina Tennis Association (APT), Olga Lidia Contreras Martínez, will have great challenges for 2023 such as mini-tennis, children’s-youth, masters, wheelchair, professional, amateur and interclubes, events of great relevance for the entity from San Luis Potosí.
Another of Olga Contreras’ objectives is to establish strategies for the professionalization of coaches through face-to-face courses taught by the International Tennis Federation, in addition to programming virtual training activities.
The Board of Directors of the APT was elected for the remainder of 2022 and until 2026 in that period it will be sought that all sports clubs, which are affiliated, obtain all the certifications granted by the Mexican and International Tennis Federations, and that parents and member players also participate in various workshops.
Promoting state tournaments within the state, disseminating through social networks the achievements that member tennis players are obtaining, as well as the different programs that the academies are reaching, will be other of its activities.
After the swearing-in that was presided over by the legal representative of the Mexican Tennis Federation, Enrique Flores Fernández and that was carried out in the Princes Hall of the Lomas Racquet Club, the recently elected president indicated that among her first actions are increasing the number of children’s, youth and adult tournaments, as well as competition and professional ones, this with the purpose of strengthening social tennis among young people and adults that make up the APT.
