Adaptive Tennis for special needs
Making tennis accessible for those with mental and physical disabilities
We believe it is very important to teach and provide Adaptive Tennis for Special Needs. As people encounter difficulties with mental or physical disabilities in their lives, they may feel disenfranchised and separated from the fabric of society. For this reason, utilize the game of tennis to help those who feel disenfranchised gain a sense of belonging, develop confidence within themselves and better reintegrate within society.

Regardless of the condition, prior trauma, previous experiences or unfortunate circumstances, Adaptive Tennis US seeks to use the game of tennis as a means of reintegration and to create a connection for existence. We are a non profit company that provides professional tennis coaching and training to enable those individuals who have a perceived situational difference to discover a pathway to their identity.

Adaptive Tennis For Special Needs
Why We Exist
We believe tennis for the disabled can do a tremendous amount to help heal people physically and emotionally. Mental health issues are prevalent amongst those who feel isolated, which can lead to severe depression and suicide. We strive to utilize the game of tennis to help those who feel disenfranchised to gain a sense of belonging, and to develop the confidence within themselves to better reintegrate within society.
