DISABILITY TENNIS - INCLUSIVE TENNIS
Kent is part of the LTA’s Open Court programme to open tennis up to everyone and make it inclusive and accessible for all. The aim is to support players, clubs and coaching programmes in their tennis journey. Our programme is coordinated by Tom Defrates, he can be contacted should you have any ideas, questions or need advice on how to make your club or centre more inclusive.
We currently offer a range of disability and inclusive tennis sessions around the County. As part of our programme the County have a number of junior and adult sport wheelchairs that can be hired for free. Please contact Tom for more information.
The LTA run impairment specific CPD’s which can be accessed here
