Adaptive Tennis

Play, Connect and Socialise!

Tennis can be adapted so that everyone can participate! Our mission is to get players of all ages and levels of ability learning and playing the game.

Thanks to funding support from the NSW Government ATP Cup Tennis Legacy fund we are also able to provide FREE come and try days and a range of other regular adaptive tennis programs and coaching sessions. Our next free Come and Try day is Saturday the 27 August from 10am-12 noon at the Alexandria Park Tennis Courts in Alexandria 2015.

Blind and Low Vision Tennis (BLV)

"Blind Tennis often called Soundball Tennis is played on either a badminton court or a standard tennis court using a junior tennis racket and an adapted sponge ball that makes a noise when it bounces. Balls can be either black or florescent yellow to give maximum contrast with the colour of the sports hall.

The standard rules of tennis apply with just a few modifications: if you’re totally blind you’re allowed three bounces, those with partial sight are allowed two. Just like standard tennis, you can play singles or doubles. Sighted players can play against visually impaired players, but they’re allowed only one bounce and no volleying."

  • Day: Friday 11 to 12pm
