DALLAS TENNIS Adaptive programs provide the tennis community with the opportunity to partner with adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) to foster independence through a recreational initiative. Volunteers bring the joy of tennis, physical activity, and friendship to adaptive teammates 30-weeks a year. Adaptive programming is FREE to its participants. DALLAS TENNIS provides all equipment. Sessions are led by Education Academy pros but relies heavily on volunteers to make the classes effective given the amount of one-on-one work that it requires.

​

In 2022, 3 DALLAS TENNIS adaptive programs reached 75 IDD teammates over 3 sessions: 12-week fall, 12-week spring and 6-week summer programs.
