Sacramento Capitals Wheelchair Tennis Association

The Sacramento Capitals Wheelchair Tennis Association promotes and develops wheelchair tennis activities for persons with disabilities.  Our annual wheelchair tennis tournament provides disabled athletes with an avenue to keep their bodies and minds active and in shape.  The competition fostered by the annual SCWTA tournament improves sports skills and allows disabled individuals to experience the excitement of competition with the thrill of victory as well as the agony of defeat.  These experiences help individuals to face the adversity of a disability and to focus on possibilities rather than limitations.   

About Wheelchair Tennis

Wheelchair Tennis was founded in 1976 when Brad Parks first hit a tennis ball from a wheelchair.  Wheelchair tennis is one of the fastest growing wheelchair sports in the world,  It integrates very easily with the able-bodied game since it can be played on any regular tennis court, with no modifications to rackets and balls. Wheelchair tennis follows the same rules as able-bodied tennis with the only exception being that the wheelchair tennis player is allowed two bounces of the ball.
