USTA, ITF Junior Wheelchair Tennis Camp Americas

We have kids from five different countries here.

some chair mobility, but mostly stroke production.

In the afternoon we have an actual ITF Sanction Tournament

so the kids in this tournament will end up getting a world ranking by the end of this camp.

The most special part of this camp is the older kids

and I think it's almost like a mentoring type situation.

through the court or wherever I want to go.

I have been playing wheelchair tennis for around seven and a half years now.

I've been going to this camp since my freshmen year summer,

It's significant because it really teaches you that it is not just the US,

People with disabilities are just like anybody else in the world.

We should be teated equally as everybody else because
