Youth Wheelchair Tennis Series

If your child has a disability that prevents them from playing “regular” tennis, they can still enjoy all of the benefits the game of tennis provides with adaptations designed to meet their individual needs.  Tennis is truly a game for everyone. If they can swing a racquet, your child CAN play!

Join us for this weekly series beginning on April 18 and ending on May 30. There will be no practice on May 9.

The objectives of the series are:
• To allow children with a variety of physical limitations and special needs to be introduced to and explore basic skills in a fun, recreational environment.
