The tennis stars of tomorrow will be able to learn from some of the UAE's best coaches while adult players can improve their on-court skills thanks to a new partnership between Dubai Sports City (DSC) and the Clark Francis (CF) Tennis Academy. 

The UAE's leading tennis coaching company, CF Tennis Academy will take over operations of DSC's four professional standard tennis courts and will serve players of all ages and abilities as part of the three-year deal.  

CF Tennis Academy, which has been operating in Dubai for over 20 years, offers a host of tennis classes including private lessons with highly trained coaches, ladies-only sessions, starter programmes for young players, and fitness-boosting cardio tennis classes. 

As well as helping players improve their game, CF Tennis Academy also provides extensive technical training courses, including ball-kid training for Association Tennis Professionals (ATP) and Women's Tennis Association (WTA) competitions held at Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium, racket restringing and programmes for people of determination. 

Vijay Sajjanhar, CFO of Dubai Sports City, said: "The addition of CF Tennis Academy to DSC's already impressive collection of sports, fitness and training programmes and facilities will further cement our position as the premier sports destination in the UAE and help tennis players of all ages and abilities take their game to the next level." 

Clark Francis, founder of CF Tennis Academy, said: "We are absolutely delighted to be partnering with a high class and quality brand such as Dubai Sports City and we aim to add to the already impressive list of sporting names already embedded into its facility." 

The deal between CF Tennis Academy and DSC will be a major boost to the company's growing portfolio of sporting facilities, including the renowned International Cricket Council Academy and Spanish Soccer Schools, which have both been hailed as the best sporting academies in the region. In addition to the CF Tennis Academy being hosted at Dubai Sports City, the courts are also available for hire for other sporting activities such as basketball and netball making it the go to venue for sporting activity in Dubai.
