The Rules of Wheelchair Tennis The game of wheelchair tennis follows the same rules as able-bodied tennis as endorsed by the International Tennis Federation except the wheelchair tennis player is allowed two bounces of the ball. The player must return the ball before it hits the ground a third time. The wheelchair is part of the body and all applicable ITF Rules which apply to a player's body shall apply to the wheelchair. I. The Competitive Wheelchair Tennis Player
a. In order to be eligible to compete in sanctioned ITF wheelchair tennis tournaments and the paralympic games, a player must have a medically diagnosed permanent mobility-related physical disability. This permanent physical disability must result in a substantial or total loss of function in one or more lower extremities. If, as a result of these functional limitations, the player is unable to play competitive able-bodied tennis (that is, having the mobility to cover the court with adequate speed), then the player is eligible to play competitive wheelchair tennis in sanctioned ITF wheelchair tennis tournaments.
b. Examples of permanent disabilities that meet the eligibility criteria are: paralysis; amputation; radiological evidence of limb shortening; partial to full joint ankylosis or joint replacement. Such physical disabilities must consistently interfere with functional mobility. Findings such as soft tissue contracture, ligamentous instability, edema or disuse atrophy, or symptoms such as pain or numbness, without other eligibility criteria listed above shall not be considered a permanent physical disability.

AN INTRODUCTION TO WHEELCHAIR TENNIS Since its inception in 1976, wheelchair tennis has been the fastest growing and one of the most challenging and exciting of all wheelchair sports. The game of wheelchair tennis follows the same rules as able-bodied tennis, except that the wheelchair tennis player is allowed two bounces of the ball. In October 1988, the International Wheelchair Tennis Federation (IWTF) was founded as the organizing body for wheelchair tennis at international level with just 8 nations. Today The International Tennis Federation (ITF) is the governing body and has 58 members nations but it is estimated that wheelchair tennis is played in over 80 countries around the world. The NEC Wheelchair Tennis tour comprising 118 events in 32 countries around the world. With international rankings and prize money, the sport has clearly elevated itself to another level. The Cheshire Oaks Wheelchair Tennis Club was formed in July 1998. The main aims and objectives of the club is to promote the development of this fast growing sport, from grass-roots to competitive level. This will include staging an annual Sanctioned International Tournament, the first of which was held in January 1999, Tennis Development Camps for beginners and a weekly coached training sessions which is open to any wheelchair tennis player.

NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters Amersfoort 2002 The NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters Amersfoort is the grand finale of the NEC Wheelchair Tennis Tour. This competition comprises 118 events organised in 32 countries. The most important events are the Super Series, followed by the Championship Series in five categories. Many of them are big international events. Satellite tournaments rank among the smaller events. Amersfoort ranks in the highest category of the Championship Series. The NEC Wheelchair Tennis Tour was organised for the first time in 1992, comprising eleven international tournaments.
"Worldwide growth"
Over the years, wheelchair tennis has attracted an increasing number of players. As a result, the International Wheelchair Tennis Federation (IWTF) was established in 1988. Its purpose was to manage, promote and develop wheelchair tennis on a global scale. On January 1st 1998, wheelchair tennis was fully integrated in the International Tennis Federation (ITF). Wheelchair tennis was the first disabled sport to have a federation at international level. The number of participating countries grew from eight to fifty. Wheelchair tennis is estimated to be played in over eighty countries.
"Ranking"
The ranking system of the NEC Wheelchair Tennis Tour is based on the system used in able-bodied tennis. All open league and A-league players who enter in at least two certified championships earn points. The ranking list is updated every week. In the men's ranking, the eight best results count. In the women's ranking list the six best results count and in the quads competition the five best results. The players heading the ranking lists at the end of the year may call themselves ITF Wheelchair Tennis World Champions. The NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters is the last opportunity to gain points for the ranking lists.

NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters Amersfoort 2002 De NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters Amersfoort is de apotheose van de NEC Wheelchair Tennis Tour. Deze competitie bestaat uit 118 evenementen, gespeeld in 32 landen. De belangrijkste evenementen zijn de Super Series. Dan volgen de Championship series in vijf categorieën. Hierbij zijn veel grote internationale evenementen. Satelliet toernooien zijn de kleinere evenementen. Amersfoort behoort tot de hoogste categorie Championship Series. De NEC Wheelchair Tennis Tour werd in 1992 voor het eerst gespeeld met elf internationale wedstrijden.
Wereldwijde groei
Wheelchair tennis maakt al jaren wereldwijd een enorme groei door. Als reactie hierop werd in 1988 de International Wheelchair Tennis Federation (IWTF) opgericht. Doel: het besturen, promoten en wereldwijd ontwikkelen van de rolstoeltennissport. Op 1 januari 1998 werd rolstoeltennis volledig geïntegreerd in de International Tennis Federation (ITF). Rolstoeltennis werd de eerste sport voor mensen met een handicap met een internationaal georganiseerde bond. Het aantal deelnemende landen is gegroeid van 8 naar 50. Volgens schatting wordt rolstoeltennis gespeeld in meer dan 80 landen.
Ranglijst
Het puntensysteem van de NEC Wheelchair Tennis Tour is gebaseerd op het systeem bij valide tennis. Alle open en A divisie spelers die meespelen in tenminste twee goedgekeurde wedstrijden verdienen daarmee punten. De ranglijst wordt wekelijks bijgewerkt. Voor de heren tellen de acht best gespeelde wedstrijden mee, voor dames de beste zes en voor quads de beste vijf. De spelers die aan het eind van het jaar de ranglijst aanvoeren mogen zich ITF Wheelchair Tennis World Champions noemen. De NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters is de laatste kans om punten te verdienen voor de ranglijst..

All these words describe wheelchair tennis, which celebrated its 25th Anniversary in 2001 as an organised sport. Since its inception in the United States in 1976 it has become one of the fastest growing wheelchair sports in the world.
Wheelchair tennis was first played in Great Britain in 1983. It is estimated that over 6,000 people now play the sport in more than 50 countries worldwide. It has been a Paralympic sport since 1992, the same year in which an international wheelchair tennis tour was conceived that now boasts 120 tournaments around the world. Some of these tournaments are hosted by the British Tennis Foundation in partnership with the National Wheelchair Tennis Association of Great Britain, including the British Open, one of only two tournaments on the worldwide NEC Wheelchair Tennis Tour to have Super Series status, the equivalent of Grand Slam.

Activities Home Index of Activities Adapted Wheelchair Tennis Wheelchair tennis!?! How do you play tennis in a wheelchair? This is a question that every wheelchair tennis player has heard at one time or another. The only difference in the rules between wheelchair tennis and regular tennis is that wheelchair players can let the ball bounce twice if they need to (only the first bounce needs to be in). But any wheelchair player will tell you that it goes way beyond that. The added complexities that come with having to do everything with their hands and arms makes this game a whole new sport. One of the fastest growing wheelchair sports in the world with over 3000 players worldwide, wheelchair tennis stands out among wheelchair sports in that it lets able-bodied and disabled players play against each other on the same court. No longer do all of the participants need to be in a wheelchair like most other wheelchair sports. A disabled player can play against an able-bodied player, or even with an able-bodied player in a format called up/down doubles. This format lets families and friends play tennis together and helps break down some of the stereotypes and barriers that often limit interaction between the wheelchair bound and the upright world.

Wheelchair Tennis Demonstration Comes to Berinsfield
A wheelchair tennis demonstration will be on show at The Abbey Sports Centre in Berinsfield as part of an afternoon of free sports activities for adults with physical disabilities between 1pm - 4pm on Sunday 8 September 2002. The event is being organised by Ryder Cheshire Volunteers, South Oxfordshire District Council and The Abbey Sports Centre, and the activities are aimed at any adult with a physical disability that wishes to try a new sport, or simply come along to see what's on offer. Activities include bowls, boccia, archery, trampolining, swimming, wheelchair basketball and the not to be missed wheelchair tennis demonstration by Kay Froshaw, ranked number 17 in the world and Mark Bullock, the ITF Wheelchair Tennis Development Officer. Carole Heath-Whyte, Cabinet Member for Recreation, says: "The afternoon will raise awareness of the variety of sporting activities open to people with physical disabilities and hopefully provide an opportunity to set up regular sessions or new clubs. It is also a chance to meet new people and gain some independence. I wish the day every success." Theo Johnson of Ryder Cheshire Volunteers hopes that the event will encourage adults with physical disabilities to take up a sporting interest.
