Wheelchair tennis
Movement, Enthusiasm & Accessibility – Tennis for Everyone!
Wheelchair tennis is one of the most inclusive and dynamic sports there is. At the Janssen Tennis Academy, we offer specially tailored training in Düsseldorf and the surrounding area for people who use a wheelchair – whether you are a sporting beginner, an ambitious recreational player, or a future tournament player. Our goal is to make tennis accessible to everyone and to create a place where enjoyment, progress, and community are at the heart of everything
What is wheelchair tennis?
Wheelchair tennis follows the same rules as traditional tennis, with only one crucial difference: the ball is allowed to bounce twice before it must be played. This small difference makes the sport accessible for wheelchair users without losing the character, speed, and tactical depth of the game.
