Tennis

Tennis can be played using a range of chairs, mostly depending on your intensity of play and performance goals. For casual players, an everyday chair may be enough to get started, but most opt for a general sport chair or even a tennis chair.

Adaptive tennis is primarily played in its wheelchair format, and is usually divided into individual classes for people with and without arm impairments. A number of simple modifications exist to adapt to the needs of various types of disability.

Tennis is one of the few aerobic adaptive sports that can be done entirely from an everyday chair. While you will likely eventually want an upgrade, this means all it takes is a local tennis court to get started. This simplicity also makes it a common offering at local adaptive sports programs.
