If you have a physical impairment or are a wheelchair user why not try tennis at Southbourne Tennis Club. We have great coaching and accessible facilities. You can play against and alongside non-wheelchair players, friends and family, the only change to the game is that wheelchair players are allowed up to two bounces of the ball.

Wheelchair tennis is available to anyone with a physical disability; you don’t have to be a wheelchair user in your everyday life to use this piece of equipment, equally you don’t have to use a chair if you want to play the sport ambulatory. The choice is yours!

Maybe you think tennis isn’t for you? Or maybe you’re not sure you’ll be able to play it? Well, here at Southbourne Tennis Club, we’d just like you to know that it most definitely is for you. It’s for anyone.

Dave, head coach

Tennis really is a sport that anyone can play. It can be adapted for any level of ability, impairments or disability.

And whatever you think might be holding you back, take it from us, it isn’t. We can supply all the equipment and aids you need. We’ve got sports wheelchairs if you have a physical disability. And tennis balls that make a noise when they bounce if you’re visually impaired. There’s nothing stopping you from giving it a go and having just as much fun playing the game as everyone else.

The club runs coaching sessions for people who are Visually Impaired

Please enquire for more details

There are more opportunities for people who are blind or partially sighted to play tennis than ever before. And we’re delighted to say, more and more people are taking it up.

The visually impaired (VI) version of the game is played on a smaller court than usual, with a lower net. We also use an audible ball so you can hear it bounce. Depending on your sight, you’re allowed up to three bounces before returning.

The sessions are designed to be fun and active and are for all abilities.
