LCCTA WHEELCHAIR TENNIS

...USTA WHEELCHAIR TENNIS

Wheelchair tennis is one of the fastest growing and most challenging of all wheelchair sports. To meet this demand, USTA Tennis offers programs geared towards the wheelchair player.

Rules are the same as stand-up tennis, except the wheelchair player is allowed two bounces of the ball.

Wheelchair tennis provides persons with disabilities the opportunity to share in activities with their peers and family, whether able-bodied or disabled.

Playing wheelchair tennis adds to socialization and the normalization of life after sustaining a disabling injury. Proficient wheelchair users can play and actively compete against stand-up players.
