Southbourne Tennis Club recently held its 11th Annual LD Tournament, a fantastic event for the players who attend the club’s successful Saturday sessions for adults with learning disabilities.

The day featured 4 events – a full court tournament, an orange court tournament, a small court tournament plus a junior tournament – with players giving their all on court and thoroughly enjoying the day. The day was made even more special thanks to the incredible support from parents, carers, dedicated volunteers and coaches, all of whom contributed to the positive, fun atmosphere.

The event highlighted Southbourne Tennis Club’s ongoing commitment to accessible and inclusive tennis for all, part of the LTA’s Open Court Programme run by Dave Sanger Tennis Coaching.  Details of their comprehensive programme of disability tennis sessions – wheelchair, learning difficulties, Down’s syndrome, dementia, visually impaired – can be found on their website – Southbourne Tennis Club.
