OPAF and The First Clinics’ First Volley adaptive tennis program has received grant funding from the United States Tennis Association (USTA) New England for a Camp No Limits session in Rome, Maine, this summer. Grant funding will provide for two First Volley instructors for the afternoon event, along with supplies and prizes. This will be the fourth year that First Volley has been part of the Camp No Limits program in Maine.
“The kids and their families look forward to the First Volley tennis clinic every year,” Mary Leighton, OTR, and Camp No Limits executive director, said. “It is a great sport that all campers can be successful whether they are missing an arm or leg or even both arms!”
“OPAF is excited to return to Camp No Limits and offer adaptive tennis to their campers each year,” Robin Burton, OPAF executive director, said. “Their numbers continue to grow as the popularity of First Volley has continued to grow since our inaugural clinic in 2005.”
Camp No Limits will be held at Pine Tree Camp, Rome, Maine, from August 2-6. First Volley will be the afternoon event on Friday, August 5.
