A growing collaboration between two tennis professionals, Jamaica’s Kevin Simms and Canadian Chris Ancrum, is poised to revive tennis at the Broughton Primary School in Westmoreland and other schools in the parish.

In addition to renovating the deteriorating tennis court at Broughton and establishing a charity to support the sport’s development, the duo, who hosted a tennis clinic that drew overwhelming excitement from students, is now exploring ways to grow the sport.

“The next step for that court is to try to clean up the surface and get the surface to be a little bit better because, right now, it's quite rocky and rough,” Ancrum told GoodHeart. “And I know they're also trying to fix the drainage because, right now, when it rains, it funnels right onto the court in one spot. So, it damages it each time it rains.”
