Linslade Tennis Club is the official South Beds Disability Hub with Head Coach Sara Bamford running the programme as a qualified disability tennis coach .

Tennis can be adapted for any level of ability, as well as for players with different disabilities. It can be adapted to make it easier, slower, and simpler to participate in. It is also a great sport to play too, with proven physical and mental health benefits for disabled people.

All the equipment and aids you need can be supplied to give the sport a go. There are sports wheelchairs if you have a physical disability and require the use of a wheelchair, and tennis balls that make a noise when they bounce if you’re visually impaired enabling you to track the ball with your hearing. There’s nothing stopping you from giving it a go and having just as much fun playing the game as everyone else.

Disability Tennis is split into 4 groups:

1. Visually Impaired Tennis
2. Deaf Tennis
3. Wheelchair Tennis
4. Learning Difficulty Tennis

As a club we have linked with Leighton-Linslade Rotary Club to join their very successful Yes We Can project

At the club we currently run 2 all inclusive sessions:

1. Yes We Can Project Friday 6-7pm
2. Yes We Can Project Saturday 9-10am
