Hello all,
I’m excited to announce two major Para Standing tennis events that will take place at JTCC this winter! As a reminder, Para Standing tennis is a classification of adaptive tennis for people with physical disabilities who prefer to play standing. Learn more at https://jtccoutreach.org/parastanding.
First, we are excited to partner with Hanger Clinic for the FREE Introduction to Para Standing Tennis: Volunteer Training & Beginner Tennis Clinic! This will be held Saturday, February 17 from 11:00 am – 3:00 pm at JTCC.
Are you a player, volunteer, or coach that wants to learn more about what Para Standing tennis is all about? This free event is sponsored by Hanger Clinic is held in two sessions: a volunteer training 11:00 am – 12:30 pm with lunch provided after, and a beginner Para Standing tennis clinic 1:00 – 3:00 pm for players with physical disabilities interested in giving Para Standing tennis a try.

Secondly, registration is now open for the first JTCC Para Standing Championships tennis tournament! The event will be held March 9-10 at JTCC in College Park, MD. Registration is $50 for singles and doubles, and divisions will be created based on level of tennis play (self-selected by players after registration). Lunch will be provided Saturday and Sunday, and dinner will be provided Saturday night. A light breakfast will be available at the tournament desk each morning, and snacks will be provided.
This tournament is open to players who are entering their first tennis competition – beginners will have their own division and be supported on-court by JTCC volunteers to help with scoring and rules.
