Programs

Our tennis program was created to meet the needs of children with autism who represent a variety of cognitive, social, and physical abilitities.  Each child will be paired with 1-2 volunteers based on his/her needs.

The 50 minute session is structured as follows:

• Warm up, running and jumping exercises on the court
• Basic hand-eye coordination skills such as rolling the ball and balancing ball on the racket
• Volleys at the net
• Groundstrokes at the service line
• Obstacle course
• Group game and ball pickup

Our program is flexible and can be modified based on each child’s sill level and favorite activities.  If at any time a child needs to take a break he/she is allowed to do so.  Parents can watch through a viewing window and are welcome to come onto the court during the session to assist their child if necessary.
