  • Emmanuel Mensah

    FOUNDER

    Emmanuel Mensah is a former Ghanaian Tennis Star, born and raised in Ghana as a ball boy, from a poor background, picked up the game of tennis at the age of seven and represented the country of his origin from U14, U16, U18. Also represented Ghana at the African Junior Championship (AJC) numerous times. Euro/Africa Davis Cup and All African Games. Emmanuel toured and played in Africa and Europe before moving to the US in August 2008 for College tennis. He credits his tennis career to his mentor and coach, Henry Afarku Quansah.

    Emmanuels skills and dedication to the sport opened many opportunities for him, which was his main inspiration for the Emmanuel Mensah Tennis & School Foundation, as he wants children, especially at Korle-Gonno a suburb of Accra, Ghana, to have access to these same opportunities. After years of competing at the International level in the US and determination, Emmanuel became a Pro and a coach in the US. He holds a certification with the USPTA, PTR and also Cardio Tennis Coach.

    Mensahs dream is to help youth in Ghana achieve their greatest goals and to express their talents both on and off the court.
