Where can you play para standing tennis?

You can play para standing tennis at any tennis venue across the country – parks, clubs, community centres, you name it. 

Because the rules are so similar to non-disabled tennis, this means you can book a court anywhere and start playing today. 

For more specific para standing tennis sessions or coaching, speak to your local tennis venue or contact your nearest Open Court venue.

Para standing tennis rules 

One of the great things about para standing tennis is that the rules are largely the same, without needing any modifications – full size court, same rackets, same tennis balls, etc. 

The only difference is that for some classifications you are allowed up to two bounces so you can play against other para standing tennis players, as well as non-disabled players.

Here’s a rundown on para standing tennis classifications and rules for competition: 

Para standing tennis competitions & camps 

There are opportunities for para standing players to enter competitions from beginner level right up to sanctioned ITF European and World level events. 

We are working on a new pathway to deliver para standing tennis competition at tennis venues across the country – check back soon to find out more. 

Throughout the year, we’ll also be running camps in partnership with the Dan Maskell Tennis Trust for players to train and develop their skills – more information will be available soon.
