We offer a Wheelchair Tennis Program every Sunday from 2:00 to 3:30 pm, at no cost to the players. Our goal is to provide an opportunity for anyone in a wheelchair to learn how to play tennis. It’s a great way to stay active while developing skills that will allow participants to enjoy tennis with friends or loved ones. We provide loaner sports chairs and tennis racquets for all players. For more information, please reach out to Raegan at rkritzer@commonpoint.org.
