Description

Thank you for your interest in volunteering for the Abilities Tennis clinics. Abilities Tennis of North Carolina (ATANC) provides tennis programming for athletes with intellectual disabilities ages 8 and up. Volunteers play an important role in making these clinics possible for the athletes. We will meet on Saturdays from 4:00-5:00 PM at Heritage High School. The first clinic will start with a volunteer training from 3:00 - 4:00 PM and then you will have the opportunity to continue training at the first clinic from 4:00 - 5:00 PM. Volunteers will help on the courts assisting with ball and racquet drills to help teach our athletes the highly adaptive game of tennis. Abilities athletes range in skill level with some learning how to hold and swing a racquet to hit red-dot starter balls and others playing full court with regular yellow balls. Here is ATANC's Volunteer Overview video that helps explain the way clinics are run and how volunteers support the program. You may register to volunteer at one or more of the clinics. https://wakeforestnc.recdesk.com/Community/Program/Detail?programId=16427 (copy and paste in browser) Each clinic is listed individually. Please be sure to note the date and time of the clinic that you are signed up to attend and plan to arrive ten minutes before the clinic start time so we can all be in place. Wear comfortable clothes and tennis shoes and bring water, sunscreen, and a racquet if you have one. Coaches Maggie Payne ([email protected]) and David Marquina ([email protected]) are the head coaches. All volunteers must complete a background check through the Town of Wake Forest which will be sent after you register to volunteer. Thank you again for your time and support. This time on the court will certainly be the highlight of your week!
