Wheelchair tennis, a highly inclusive adaptive sport for individuals with lower-body mobility impairments, modifies standard rules by allowing up to two ball bounces and mirrors able-bodied tennis with junior to professional competitive pathways. Since 2021, JTCC has supported over 100 DMV-area players, notably through its popular MedStar NRH partnership, which served 50 in 2023-2024.
