Extractions: Since its inception as an organised sport in the United States in 1976 wheelchair tennis has become one of the fastest growing and most thrilling of all wheelchair sports. On 1st January 1998 wheelchair tennis made a huge step forward by becoming fully integrated into the International Tennis Federation (ITF). In doing so it became the first disability sport to achieve such a partnership with an international governing body. Wheelchair Tennis is played according to the Rules of Tennis, but with the one exception that a wheelchair player is allowed two bounces of the ball, providing the first bounce is within the usual parameters of the court. Many of the world's top players play the ball on the first bounce these days. EQUIPMENT: Although wheelchair tennis can be played from a day chair by anyone starting out, like many wheelchair sports (eg wheelchair basketball, wheelchair racing) wheelchair tennis is generally played from a purpose-built tennis wheelchair. Over the years the tennis wheelchair has evolved in design, and can consist of a four, five or six-wheeled piece of equipment with the choice of one or two front casters, one or two rear anti-tip wheels or a combination of both.

All pedestrian variations of tennis are, played, i.e. same-sex, doubles, mixed etc. The only rule that differs from pedestrian tennis is the one that concerns the number of bounces a ball may take before it must be played. In wheelchair tennis the ball may bounce up to twice, the second bounce may also occur outside of the field. This also holds true for service. On 17 January , 18-year-old Brad Parks was injured while taking his first warm up jump in a local acrobatic skiing competition. The accident left him a paraplegic and he realised that he would be a wheelchair user from then on. Having always been a competitive sportsman he started to wonder what sports would be available to him as a wheelchair user. Whilst in rehabilitation, he came across an article about Jeff Minnenbraker , an athlete from Los Angeles who had been playing tennis in a wheelchair using a chair he had built out of square tubing.

Extractions: Wheelchair Tennis Background: People played tennis in wheelchairs before, but in 1976 the sport took off when Brad Parks hit a tennis ball from his wheelchair. The IWTF was formed in 1988, and more and more countries established wheelchair tennis programs. In 1991, the organization got a full time officer to promote its work. Its main purpose was to establish wheelchair tennis officially around the world. Word spread primarily through attendance at International Tennis Federation events, where member nations would hear about the work of the IWTF and ask if they could start a program in their country. As the organization and sport grew, the IWTF realized that the biggest barrier to starting up a program in another country was the lack of equipment. Wheelchair tennis players started donating their old wheelchairs to developing countries to help start their programs. Wheelchair tennis can be played on a regular tennis court, without changes to the rackets or balls. In wheelchair tennis rules, the player gets two bounces. The game can be played with able-bodied friends and family, which permits wheelchair tennis players to practice with anyone. The word spread of wheelchair tennis through "up-down" exhibitions, in which a wheelchair player teamed with an able-bodied partner. Exhibitions were staged around the world at major tennis events. Top tennis professionals helped promote the sport by participating in exhibitions. The IWTF is part of the ITF. It presently has 58 member nations. The website has complete instructions as to how to become a member, and how to get a copy of the rules. Even if a player's country is not a member of IWTF, there may still be opportunities for play through the ITF or the Disabled Sports Association. The ITF e-mail address is wheelchairtennis@itftennis.com, for information about playing opportunities all over the world.

This is a question that every wheelchair tennis player has heard at one time or another. The only difference in the rules between wheelchair tennis and regular tennis is that wheelchair players can let the ball bounce twice if they need to (only the first bounce needs to be in). But any wheelchair player will tell you that it goes way beyond that. The added complexities that come with having to do everything with their hands and arms makes this game a whole new sport. One of the fastest growing wheelchair sports in the world with over 3000 players worldwide, wheelchair tennis stands out among wheelchair sports in that it lets able-bodied and disabled players play against each other on the same court.
