Participation stream 2: “back in the game.”

 

  • is a modified tennis program using smaller courts, smaller racquets and larger balls to make playing tennis easier so everyone can participate. “Back in the game” can be played on any flat surface, and can be held at individual retirement homes, meaning travel to and from a tennis club is not required. All equipment including nets, racquets and balls are provided, for residents to simply get ‘back in the game.”

 

Participation stream 3: Evelyn’s “back in the game.”

 

  • not sure how someone less able, or physically restricted can play? There is absolutely no barrier to playing tennis regardless of age or ability. We have a variety of “seated” version of our program for all to be involved, including those who are deaf/hard of hearing, and those with physical or intellectual disabilities.

 

Bookings for Participations streams 2 and 3 – please contact Vicky directly to discuss individual needs on the details above.
