14th Annual Abilities Tennis Swing Into Spring Unified Doubles Tournament

Grab your doubles partner and register for the 14th annual Abilities Tennis Swing into Spring Tournament! Need a partner? We'll find one for you. Participation is free!

We need help both on and off the court. Each athlete will be paired with a doubles partner, so if you have some tennis ability, please consider partnering in Unified Doubles—teams made up of an abilities athlete and a partner without an intellectual disability. It’s an incredible experience and one of the most joyful days you’ll ever have on the courts! We also need volunteers for tournament support, including court monitors and ball retrieval.
