What is Wheelchair Tennis?

Wheelchair Tennis is a fast-paced Paralympic sport.

 Who Can Play?

Anyone can play wheelchair tennis! Individuals in a manual or electric wheelchairs with a physical disability can participate. You do not need to be able to grip a racquet, as the racquet can be secured to your hand. Some players simply tape the racquet to their hand, while others have specifically designed grips.
