2026 Para Standing Tennis Team

This team is for adults with physical disabilities who wish to play standing up rather than playing from a sports wheelchair. Individuals who play para standing tennis have decreased mobility due to amputations, cerebral palsy, hemiplegia, limb difference, dwarfism or other congenital conditions. No prior knowledge or experience playing tennis is needed to participate. Practices and matches are on a standard tennis court – no special equipment or modifications to the court are necessary. This inclusive program provides practice and playing opportunities for adults of any skill level. Practices are throughout the season and team participation includes travel to tournaments throughout the United States.

• Practices are Thursday evenings June 11 - August 27
• We do have courts at the Mary Free Bed YMCA on Mondays and Thursdays at 6pm starting on Monday April 6-Thursday June 4.  Emails will be sent out in late March about these practices.begin based on weather.
• Practice Location: MVP Crahen Athletic Club (115 Crahen Ave NE, Grand Rapids, MI 49525)
• Players must be 16 years or older to participate.
