Exactly two days after coming into office, the newly elected Board went into action to set the ball rolling at its first meeting at the Accra City Hotel on 21st October 2019. The major highlight of the meeting is a unanimous decision to come out with a four-year strategic plan, an endogenous blueprint to help navigate the troubling waters of tennis in Ghana towards making tennis an attractive sport and to increase its developmental impact in the country. 

Prior to come out with the 4 year Strategic Plan, the Board resolved to consult all stakeholders of the game (Players home and abroad, Coaches, Umpires, Officials, Regional Associations, Club Chairs, and Sponsors) in order to gather information and ideas in a manner that shall make the four-year strategic plan represent a holistic document that shall carry the aspirations of all tennis stakeholders in Ghana.

Details and further information regarding achieving this objective will be communicated by the Secretary-General in the coming days, the KOKOTIKO portal with its ears close to the Federation will be the first to break the news as it comes.

    Indeed, the newly elected executives have proven beyond all reasonable doubts their proactive index, and how passionately they are committed to rescuing our dying game, and unlifting Ghana Tennis from its current status to greater heights. Tennis is on its way from the abyss of death to becoming a great game of attraction and interest in this noble country again.
