Buddy Up Tennis is a weekly high-energy adaptive tennis and fitness program for children and adults with Down Syndrome ages 5+. We enable our Athletes with Down syndrome to flourish, succeed, and reach their fullest potential by providing a unique environment that combines tennis, fitness, and social activities through our weekly 90-minute clinics consisting of 30 minutes of fitness conditioning and 60 minutes of professional tennis instruction.

Athletes are partnered with our volunteer Buddies (ages 14+) to provide support, develop friendships, and reinforce the Coaches’ instructions. We are always looking for more volunteer Buddies to encourage, engage, and empower our Athletes to reach their fullest potential. The most important qualities are a positive attitude, patience, and a willingness to help. There is no tennis experieince required.
