The Orthotic & Prosthetic Assistance Fund, Inc. (OPAF) and First VolleyT
Tennis Clinics were recently selected to receive 120 tennis racquets for
free distribution to participants of our adaptive tennis clinics. The
generous donation came from tennis legend Billie Jean King and World Team
Tennis. The racquets will be given to future First Volley clinic
participants so that they may continue working on their new tennis skills
well into the future.
First Volley is an adaptive tennis clinic for ambulatory players, aiming
towards amputees and those with physical challenges who wish to play tennis,
but choose not to sit in a wheelchair to do so.
This donation means a great deal to First Volley and OPAF. It serves as
recognition from USTA of our position in the nation as a recognized top
quality adaptive tennis program. It also gives our First Volley
participants the equipment to go forward with adaptive tennis and work to
build the program. We are so grateful to Ms. King for generosity to First
Volley said OPAF Executive Director, Robin Burton
Ms. King and World Team Tennis donated a total of 1000 racquets to adaptive
programs across the nation. First Volley was fortunate to receive a portion
of those racquets, intended to build the game of tennis and give such
programs a boost. The next First Volley Clinics will be on Saturday,
September 29 at Frog Hollow Racquet Club in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, followed
by clinics in Tyler, Texas and Bloomfield, Michigan.
