Wheelchair Tennis & Red Ball Social!
July 26 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Wheelchair Tennis & Red Ball Social!
The Wheelchair Tennis & Red Ball Social is open to everyone! Beginner or experienced wheelchair athletes, friends and family can all play together at this fun-filled event.
With the USTA’s Red Ball play, everyone gets a racquet in their hand and begins playing within minutes! The first doubles team to four games wins, with games being only four points! Play alongside wheelchair athletes and hop in a chair to try it yourself!
Held in collaboration with Perinton Recreation & Parks at Perinton Park tennis courts, 99 O’Connor Rd, Fairport NY 14450. Coach Avi and Coach Caroline (from Greater Buffalo Adaptive Sports) will lead the fun!
Sports chairs will be provided by RAA; Volunteers will assist during sessions.

FAQs:
Will sports chairs be provided during the Red Ball Social?
Yes. Please indicate that you will need one on the registration form.
Do I need to already know how to play tennis?
No. We will all have super fun together!
Can I sign up with a friend who doesn’t use a wheelchair?
Yes. We will have extra chairs if someone wants to try it out, but they can also play standup during the Red Ball Social.
Is there a fee for registration?
No, wonderfully, USTA has provided RAA with grant funding to support the costs of this event. We are grateful to be able to set this up with their support!
What can I do after the clinic to keep practicing?
Great question! You can go ahead and sign up for Coach Avi’s summer classes through Perinton Recreation and Parks registration. They are expecting you! PR & P has a scholarship application process if financial support is needed. You can also plan to go to your local tennis court all summer long and play with a friend or family member — you will have basic skills to keep practicing!
Do I have to take this clinic before signing up for Tennis 101 with Coach Avi through Perinton Rec?
No, you do not! You can go ahead and sign up for Coach Avi’s classes through Perinton Rec through their catalog. Spring classes on page 28opens PDF file
What’s a Red Ball Social and why should I attend?
It’s just so much fun, and you really shouldn’t miss this opportunity for meeting new folks, playing with your friends, laughing, and oh! we’ll be playing some tennis!
