Kingsville tennis player back on the court again

Lauren Portugal has been itching to swing her racquet on the court and is glad to be back. "Oh, it's awesome" said Portugal.

The 14-year old hasn't played competitively since December at the Jr. Orange Bowl in Florida and used the pandemic to work on her fitness level. Tennis returned in parts of the U.S. in April so her coach/father says Lauren has some catching up to do. "They have to meet the American requirements because that's where they are going to end up going." said Sal Portugal. "They have to keep up with it".


Hear why Lauren, who will soon affiliate with the new Zekelman Tennis Centre at St. Clair College, enjoys training with her dad. She is hoping he can help her achieve a significant goal.

"Another great resource for local sports produced by a person that has been invested in local sports for decades."

This is why...

Powerplay Sports was born while on a trip to Italy in the summer of 2018. Walking through a charming pedestrian underpass reminded me of being in the tunnel at the University of Michigan in the early part of my career. That feeling led to thoughts of Windsor Lancers football camp opening in three weeks and all of the fall sports that weren't going to be covered because of cuts to local sports coverage by legacy media. 

​

With the support of a loving wife and family, I decided to create Powerplay Sports as a passion project.  

​​​​

I've come across some great people who have helped capture the essence of our community throughout the years like Tony Techko, Tony Doucette, Scott Scantlebury, Dom Papa, Steve Bell, Will Hill, Jim Parker and Mary Caton to name a few. 

​

Please spread the word and follow along here or on social media so we can continue having the priviledge of highlighting our athletes, our community.
