Sessions:
Tennis Inclusive for Adults

Sessions are adult centred and inclusive to give opportunities to play and make new friends through learning new skills and games in a social and positive atmosphere.
Tennis Inclusive for Kids

Sessions are child centred and inclusive to give opportunities to play and make new friends through learning new skills and games in a social and positive atmosphere.
Serving Autism for Adults 16+
This session is for people who are Autistic and wanting to stay active while playing Tennis. The 45 mins session comprises a warm up, tennis drills followed by a game at the end. Adaptive equipment is used where necessary and coaches run the sessions centred around each individual’s needs.
Visually Impaired Tennis
Ability Tennis works closely with South Yorkshire Visually Impaired Tennis Club (SYVITC) to provide coaching for the club. These sessions use audible tennis balls and varied size rackets and courts to cater for each player’s visual impairment. The sport is one of the fastest growing disability sports and is a great way to stay fit and active in friendly and sociable atmosphere.
Walking Tennis
Walking Tennis is a slower version of the game; it is tennis, but at a walking pace. The game has been designed so that anyone can play it regardless of age or fitness level. Adaptive tennis balls and rules make this game slower and easier to pick up.
Wheelchair Tennis
Learn how to play tennis in a friendly, sociable and inclusive group at Graves Tennis Centre in Sheffield. The course of 6 weekly sessions takes you through the movement skills you need, how to hit the ball and how to score and play for singles and doubles. The main focus is to get people active, through tennis.
