Special Olympic Tennis

Special Olympics Tennis is a unified, inclusive sports program that offers individuals with intellectual disabilities 8 years and up the opportunity to develop tennis skills, build teamwork, and enjoy the spirit of competition in a supportive environment. Athletes work on basic tennis fundamentals such as dribbling, serving, hitting forehand and backhand, and court strategies while learning sportsmanship and having fun!
