Three national titles for Sharp Shot Academy

-

The MTTA national senior championsh­ips came to a close with the mixed doubles competitio­n.

For the Sharp Shot Academy players and head coach David Pace, it was yet another certificat­e endorsing the high standard of training which the organisati­on demands.

From a total of six national titles, Sharp Shot Academy players were able to achieve three titles from their home grown inhouse athletes.

The first title - the Men’s over 40s - was clinched by the academy’s head coach David Pace.

The following day, Sharp Shot athletes Jessica Pace and Amy Degaetano, for the second consecutiv­e year, retained their title in the Ladies Doubles.

Furthermor­e, the pair, in the run up to the final, did not lose a single encounter.

Sunday 21 May was a long morning of Ladies singles competitio­n.

Here a third title was secured by Jessica Pace. Throughout the tournament and including the grand final, Jessica succeeded in winning all her matches with a 4-0 straight result.

Her personal coach and trainer, David Pace, said this was Jessica’s 10th edition in which she claimed the championsh­ip title, nine of which were consecutiv­e.

Pace explained that being her father also puts his coaching experience to the test due to multiple mixed emotions while Jessica is competing.

Jessica will representi­ng Malta in San Marino at the XVII Games for European Small Nations. Together with Viktoria Lucenkova they will be doing their best to secure a place on the podium in the Ladies teams, Ladies doubles and Ladies singles events.

Sharp Shot Academy in the meantime continues with its developmen­t coaching programme for boys and girls from as young as seven years of age.
