CAST – Carolinas Adaptive Standing Tennis

CAST TOURNAMENT 2021

September 30 – October 3, 2021
Pinetop Sports Club ~ Greensboro, NC

Adaptive standing tennis players from around the world will travel to Greensboro, NC, October 1 – 3, 2021 to the 2nd Carolinas Adaptive Standing Tennis Tournament at Pinetop Sports Club. We cordially invite any and all standing adaptive athletes to participate in this event. This tournament and the youth clinic is designed for individuals with physical disabilities or limitations using adaptive techniques to compete and learn the sport of tennis. Whether you have played in the past or are new to the sport, tennis provides a great opportunity to have fun and compete through sport.

WHAT IS STANDING ADAPTIVE TENNIS?

Adaptive tennis is a way of playing tennis for individuals with physical disabilities that involves one or more of the following modifications:

The use of adaptive equipment (i.e., prosthetic device)
A chance in rules (i.e, two bounces allowed)
The use of a smaller court (for those with more severe mobility issues)
A modification to the length of the match.

On behalf of CAST, GRETA, Pinetop Sports Club and Greensboro Parks & Recreation, we invite you to be a part of this first-of-its-kind in the southeast tournament for adaptive athletes.
