🎾 Introducing T.R.A.I.L.B.L.A.Z.E.R.S.
An Inclusive Adaptive Tennis Experience for Youth with Intellectual Disabilities
T.R.I.N.I.T.Y. Tennis is thrilled to announce the launch of its newest initiative: the T.R.A.I.L.B.L.A.Z.E.R.S. Adaptive Red Ball Tennis Program, a purpose-driven and inclusive tennis experience for youth ages 7–17 with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Backed by the USTA Adaptive Tennis curriculum, T.R.A.I.L.B.L.A.Z.E.R.S. is thoughtfully designed to meet the unique needs of beginner players through structured, supportive, and joyful Red Ball Tennis sessions. Each participant is paired with a caregiver, parent, or trained volunteer to ensure a 1:1 ratio and a positive, confidence-building environment where players can thrive.
🧠 Why T.R.A.I.L.B.L.A.Z.E.R.S.?
T.R.A.I.L.B.L.A.Z.E.R.S. stands for:
Teaching Resilience and Inspiring Abilities through Love, Balance, Laughter, Adaptation, Zeal, Encouragement, Responsibility, and Support.
These core values shape the heart of every session, blending movement and mentorship with character-based learning. Our adaptive approach makes tennis not only accessible, but affirming—where every player is seen, supported, and celebrated.
