A TENNIS coaching session based in Bradford has won a national award.
Shapla Sports Initiative picked up the special achievement award at the British Ethnic Diversity Sports Awards (BEDSAs).
It holds sessions every fortnight at the BEAP Community Sports Hall, Cornwall Road, Manningham, for children aged between five and 14, which are regularly attended by 60 youngsters.
Shapla was created to help the Bangladeshi community in the city get involved in sport, by providing them with opportunities for development in a number of different activities.
Shapla Sports beat off competition from Khizra Mosque in Manchester, the North London Muslim Community Centre, and the Dery Foundation based in Birmingham, when its lead coach, Humayun Islam, picked up the prize at the ceremony on March 18.
