Notes

When you start playing you do not require a sports wheelchair. You may wish to strap yourself into the chair to improve your stability. Straps can be used around the waist, knees and ankles, depending on the player�s balance. In addition, many tetraplegics and quadriplegics play tennis by strapping/taping the racket to their hand. Eventually, especially as your game improves, a sport wheelchair is recommended to give you more mobility, stability and speed.

To be eligible to participate in formal completion, a player must have a medically-diagnosed permanent mobility-related physical disability which must result in a substantial loss of function in one or both lower extremities.
