Antigua’s Kyle Aaron Joseph, a 2012 Graduate of Flanagan High School, Broward County Florida, has successfully gained admission for the spring 2013 semester as an Freshman Avenger at the ASA College, a junior NCAA division 1 ranked college in New York City on a full scholarship.

 

After completing a stint at the International Academy of Tennis, it became Kyle’s dream to

take his tennis career to a different level. In 2010, Kyle move to the United States to attend the

Bill Adams Tennis Academy.   Kyle started playing tennis at the Halcyon Tennis Club from the age of five (5), under the tutelage of Coach Cordell Williams and his team.  Kyle credits his work ethic on the court and in the classroom to the guidance received at the Halcyon Tennis Club and his early school development at the Montessori school, the St. Nicholas Primary school, the St. Joseph’s Academy and the Island Academy International School. Throughout his tennis career Kyle has grown significantly and has steadily improved his ranking earning him a year end world ranking of 1133.

 

Although Kyle was born in the United States, he maintains that he will continue flying the flag of

Antigua and Barbuda. This is evident in the fact that on the homepage of the ASA college avengers, his hometown is listed as Antigua and Barbuda. Kyle is the son of Lorrie-Ann and Kevin A. Joseph.

 

 The Antigua & Barbuda Tennis Association congratulates Herbert Jody Maginley and Kyle Aaron Joseph on their successful move into Collegiate Tennis.
