Technical Manual

This manual was designed for one sole reason, a place to quickly access information on our beloved sport of blind and visually impaired tennis.

We hope that this manual will be a starting point for many new players, coaches and volunteers in their journey into our sport. Simon McFarland, IBTA Head of Technical, is always available to answer any questions you might have. Do not hesitate to ask! We, as coaches and players, all need to work together to achieve our goals for the sport and for the individuals involved. Coaches, we ask you to open your minds, come up with new adaptive techniques and tactics and share your best practice with us all.
