For the first time, United Tennis add to its programs an “Abilities Tennis” group at Mint Hill. United Tennis is collaborating with the Abilities Tennis NC Foundation to offer tennis classes at Mint Hill to young people with special abilities. Nowadays, more than 10 young people with autism can play tennis thanks to this program. “Doing physical exercise and working on coordination and motor skills is achieved thanks to the support of a group of volunteers who show their affection for this group of athletes every week,” commented the Program Director at Mint Hill, Marta Gómez-Jordana. The “Abilities Tennis” program has no cost until June 2024, as the program is sponsored by USTA Southern. The program organizers hope that local companies may be interested in sponsoring this valuable program. If you are interested in registering your children to the tennis classes, please go to www.united-tennis.org.
