Wheelchair Tennis
GBAS began its tennis journey participating in a USTA Adaptive and Wheelchair Tennis Symposium in the summer of 2022. We began our own programming in the summer of 2023, with additional sessions in December. Our programs are coached by a USPTA certified instructor, using USTA Wheelchair Tennis skills and drills programming.
During the 2024 summer, GBAS helped Rochester Accessible Adventures start a wheelchair tennis program of their own through an eight-week session and assistance from GBAS coaches.
