Who?
The Tennis Foundation works in partnership with other National Disability Sports organisations, including Special Olympics Great Britain and the United Kingdom Sports Association for People with Learning Disability, to develop and promote tennis for people with learning disabilities.
This includes development from beginner and recreational standard through to competitive play.
How?
Contact the TF for opportunities to play in your area.
Also, a good way to keep informed of playing and coaching opportunities is to add your details to the TF's Learning Disability database.
You will receive regular mail-outs, including newsletters and useful information on what is happening locally, nationally and internationally.
The Tennis Foundation organises learning disability coaching weekends several times each year to further develop the talents of individual players.
Where?
Many players with a learning disability start playing tennis in sessions that are run by Regional Special Olympic Groups at local tennis clubs and indoor tennis centres.
An increasing number of local tennis centres and clubs hold session for players with learning disabilities.
Clinics and fun days organised by disability sports organisations, such as Special Olympics Great Britain, are also a good opportunity for players to develop their skills.
