Wheelchair Tennis: Breaking Barriers and Serving Up Excitement

At Wichita Adaptive Sports, we're proud to showcase one of the most inclusive and exciting adaptive sports out there - wheelchair tennis. This dynamic sport not only provides an excellent opportunity for physical activity but also breaks down barriers between athletes of all abilities.

The Game That Unites

Wheelchair tennis is a shining example of how sports can bring people together, regardless of physical limitations. What makes this sport truly special is its unique ability to allow wheelchair users to compete alongside able-bodied players on a level playing field.

Rules of the Game

The beauty of wheelchair tennis lies in its simplicity. The rules are nearly identical to traditional tennis, with one key difference:

- Wheelchair players are allowed two bounces of the ball before returning it, compared to the single bounce in standard tennis.

This small adjustment opens up a world of possibilities, enabling wheelchair users to fully participate in the sport and showcase their skills.

Benefits of Wheelchair Tennis
