What is para standing tennis?
Para standing tennis is a format of our sport for people with physical impairments who want to play tennis without the use of a wheelchair.
While para standing tennis is an evolving, new format, we want to create more opportunities for the para standing community to play, compete and enjoy our sport. It doesn’t matter your age, background or your level, anyone can play.
Who can play para standing tennis?
Para standing tennis is for anyone with a physical impairment such as limb loss, limb deficiencies, cerebral palsy, acquired brain injuries, and people who are short statured.
Para standing tennis integrates very easily with the non-disabled game as well, so you can play with anyone.
Where can you play para standing tennis?
You can play para standing tennis at any tennis venue across the country – parks, clubs, community centres, you name it.
Because the rules are so similar to non-disabled tennis, this means you can book a court anywhere and start playing today.
For more specific para standing tennis sessions or coaching, speak to your local tennis venue or contact your nearest Open Court venue.
