Wheelchair racquet sport pilot for Wales

Tennis Wales and Squash Wales have partnered to launch a joint wheelchair sport programme. The six-week pilot scheme offering both newcomers and existing players improved access to wheelchair sports. The collaboration between the two sporting bodies brings participants together for weekly sessions of 90-minute games of both squash and tennis, hosted at Rhiwbina Squash and Racketball Club and Rhiwbina Tennis Club. There are also supported and guided warm-ups, as well as chair movement and skill development drills.

At the end of the six week pilot, participants are given the chance to put what they’ve learned to the test in a friendly tournament-style competition. From there, those who wish to continue playing can join either club (or both) to keep playing.
