Learning Disabilities Tennis
When we refer to learning disability (LD) tennis at a recreational level, we are including learning difficulties as well. This includes: Down’s Syndrome, Asperger’s Syndrome, Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). However in LD specific competitions and tournaments criteria for entry is connected to the person’s IQ (under 75) and are only open to those who are eligible.
Opportunities in Cambs
There are several opportunities for LD tennis in Cambs, e.g., for children there is already a link up between several clubs and special schools such as Gretton School, Castle School, Highfields School and Samuel Pepys School.
In addition FREE tennis lessons are often available for children who have additional needs. For further information about tennis for both children and adults with additional needs please contact Steve Shaw on stevecshaw@btinternet.com or phone/text him on 07485 279776.
