The ANZ school tennis program is set to start on March 3, coinciding with celebration of the world tennis day.
The program includes schools in and around Honiara.
According to the mini tennis program coordinator, Doreen Ningalo a good number of schools have been confirmed for the program this year.
The mini tennis program targets school kids from age range five to 14 years old.
Ms Ningalo said the program aims at developing tennis to very young children both in Honiara and in the provinces.
She said one most important aim of the program was to develop upcoming tennis talents so they can compete and even get tennis sports scholarships abroad just as many young Solomon Islanders who have followed the same path.
This is an annual program sponsored by the ANZ bank.
As part of the program the mini tennis program is also extended to provinces.
The ANZ mini tennis program in Solomons has always been one of the best in the region and its expected to lure more young children to be part of the tennis program.
