Junior Tennis Celebrity chooses Emerald Greens Golf Resort & Country Club for tennis training.

Tampa, FL (PRWEB) March 29, 2008 -- Emerald Greens Golf Resort & Country Club is proud to announce their selection as host for Jan Silva and his family to participate in their Tennis Training Program this spring at Emerald Greens Golf Resort & Country Club. The Tennis Department under the direction of Gary Needelman is where Jan will continue his training at Emerald Greens. In addition to his training, Jan will hold press interviews and photo opportunities during his month long stay in Florida.

"We selected Emerald Greens because of the excellent Tennis program and their new villas that provided a place where our family can relax and enjoy their time in the States" stated Scott Silva, proud father of Jan. The Silva family travels frequently and makes their home in France close to the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy. "We are thrilled at the opening of their new Resort, and couldn't wait to get here" said Silva.

The Tennis Program at Emerald Greens was designed to instruct young Tennis players along with their parents. The program goes beyond the traditional approach of tutors and large amounts of time on the courts. The parents first learn to achieve the perfect balance of tennis practice with normal childhood activities. "The sports arena for children has become so competitive that our focus for the program is simple; let kids be kids, and they will make a lifetime career out of the sport that they love" states Traci Sherman, Director of Sales and Marketing for the Resort.

Just fifteen minutes from Tampa International Airport and the Westshore Business District, the resort features a 27-hole Championship Golf Course designed by Dan Maples, air-conditioned golf carts, tennis and aquatic centers, an Oasis Day Spa, Vacation Villas, health club, meeting facilities and more! Resort guests will have access to the True Kids Tennis program and Triple Play Sports camps this summer.
