Douglas Lawn Tennis Club in partnership with Cork Sports Partnership and Tennis Ireland have been running a new children’s programme this year called enjoy tennis. Blind/Vision Impaired Tennis is part of the Tennis Ireland Enjoy Tennis programme, which aims to provide opportunities for people with a disability to play the wonderful game of tennis.
The sessions are delivered by fully qualified tennis coach in DLTC Aidan Cotter, and are supported by an enormous team of DLTC volunteers, adult and junior. We had an initial ‘Come and Try’ session on March 1st supported by an experienced external team. Now we are up and running and will be continuing our partnership with Cork Sports Partnership and Tennis Ireland to deliver this amazing programme into the future.
Want to volunteer in the future or just have an interest in Enjoy Tennis we recommend attending Vision Sports Awareness Training which is run equally online.
