OPAF and The First Clinics (www.opfund.org), founder of the First VolleyTM
Tennis Clinics, announces that they have been awarded a $10,000 grant from
USTA Serves, the philanthropic arm of the United States Tennis Association.
This is the third time in four years that First Volley has been a grant
recipient from this division of the USTA.
These funds will represent at least four and up to eight First Volley
clinics across the country for Shriners Hospital for Children patients,
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 Serves as a recipient of one of their grants.
These funds will allow Shriners Kids to learn or re-learn tennis skills and
drills 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
regular 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 to join us. OPAF is fortunate to have
Prince Sports as a sponsor for our equipment and Hitting For Prizes segment
for First Volley clinics.
For more information on hosting a First Clinic for your practice, your
patients and your community, please contact the OPAF office at our new
office location in Waterloo, Iowa at 319-235-4318 or <Email Address Redacted>
