Wheels and Rackets—Wheelchair Tennis at Quail Creek

 

Wheelchair tennis is all about dynamic movement, on-point positioning, and serious racket skills. This was certainly demonstrated when four wheelchair players came to play on Jan. 5 at Quail Creek’s tennis facility in Green Valley. The event was organized by Victor Vaughn, a member of the QC Tennis Club, a leading proponent of wheelchair tennis, and a skilled wheelchair player himself. A group of his colleagues joined him on the courts for some exciting competition, which was enjoyed by many members of the club. The players included Sue Kroeger, Steve O’Brien, and Adam Finney, all from the Tucson area.

The Quail Creek Tennis Club is looking forward to their next match at Quail Creek, which will also include “run and roll” play, consisting of a team of a wheelchair player and a Tennis Club member.
