 The UCU lawn tennis team has benefitted from a one-day clinic by a highly ranked tennis player in Uganda, Mr. Duncan Mugabe. The clinic took place on Saturday 17 november at the university tennis courts.
Mugabe saw the team through drills on positioning and posture, besides fitness and serving styles. He grew up learning at Lugogo oval with his father as mentor. He recently won a silver medal at the recent All African Games in Maputo, Mozambique. He looks up to Pete Sampras (USA) and wants to appear on the international scene among the best tennis players. “UCU has a promising future in tennis and I will work closely with the select team so we can learn the game together,” Mugabe said. Meanwhile, a four-player of two men and two women team, will represent the university in the singles, doubles and mixed doubles during the University Sports Federation of Uganda games set for 17 December at Ndejje University. The team will field Constance Manake, Charles Kavuma, Fanton Mugaga led by captain Daisy Atukunda. “We are prepared and ready to face any challenge. However, we request for better training equipment especially the rackets. The court is in bad shape and needs to be worked on also more balls are needed to aid the training,” Atukunda said.
