TENNIS CANADA WHEELCHAIR TENNIS INSTRUCTOR
The Wheelchair Tennis Instructor Workshop is a Tennis Canada initiative designed to provide interested people (currently certified instructors and coaches, school teachers, recreational Therapists, etc.) with the knowledge to teach wheelchair tennis to introductory players.
Participants will learn how to adapt their coaching to systematically develop beginning wheelchair players. They will help players learn the fundamentals of rallying, starting a point with serve & return, playing the game and most importantly, chair mobility.
The course, conducted in partnership with Onpara and the OTA, will be taught by Tennis Canada National Coach for Wheelchair Tennis and 3 time Paralympic Medalist Kai Schrameyer.
