Gill Smith Best Girl Improver Shield
Every Year the Club presents The Gill Smith Award for Best Girl Improver, at Harrogate Spa Tennis Club. Gill was a much respected member of our Club and an ardent tennis player and fan. She was also member of Harrogate Spa Tennis Club.
We remember Gill every year with the presentation of the Best Girl Improver Shield. This year Club President, Christine Anderson, was delighted to present the Shield to Sofia Perez at the Harrogate Spa Tennis Centre.
Carolyn Rothwell, Club administrator said, ‘Sofia has been a member of Club for nearly 10 years. During that time she has developed confidence, both in her own tennis playing ability, and in the way she enjoys helping others, particularly youngsters, improve their game.There is always a smile around on court, from Sofia, and the children love being helped by her with their tennis, whatever the weather’.
Sofia’s Mum, Ana Perez says, ‘Sofia Has always enjoyed playing tennis. Her commitment and dedication to playing and coaching tennis has not only strengthened her skills but also inspired and empowered young people to embrace the sport with confidence. We are very proud of Sofia’s achievements and the positive impact she’s making to the community showing her passion and enthusiasm’.
Congratulations Sofia. Growing and developing your skills as a player and coach.
