The Orthotic & Prosthetic Assistance Fund, Inc. (OPAF, www.opfund.org),
founder of the First VolleyTM Tennis Clinics, announces that they have been
awarded a $20,000 grant from the United States Tennis Association Tennis and
Education Foundation. This is the second year in a row that First Volley
has been a grant recipient from this division of the USTA.
These funds will represent eight First Volley clinics across the country for
amputees and those with physical challenges who wish to try their tennis
skills with certified professional instructors. We are so honored to have
been selected again by USTA Tennis and Education Foundation as a recipient
of one of their grants. These funds will allow First Volley attendees to
learn or re-learn tennis skills and get them involved in an active lifestyle
again, said Robin Burton, OPAF Executive Director.
First Volley offers quality adaptive tennis instruction to amputees and
those with physical challenges who wish to try their tennis skills, but
choose not to sit in a wheelchair to do so. Our participants range in age
from 5 to 80 and come to us with little or no tennis experience to playing
league tennis with able bodied players. Adaptive ambulatory tennis drills
and live ball action are all part of a First Volley Clinic. Wheelchair
players are always welcome. OPAF is fortunate to have Prince Sports as a
sponsor for our equipment and Hitting For Prizes segment for First Volley
clinics.
Our next First Volley clinic will be Saturday, December 29 at Bucks County
Racquet Club, located at 1150 Lord Sterling Road in Washington Crossing, PA
from 1-4 pm. First Volley was recently named the USTA National Community
Service Award Winner for Adaptive Tennis for 2007. The award will be
presented at the USTA Community Development Workshop in Las Vegas in
February, 2008.
