| Introduction: ITF Wheelchair Tennis Coaches Review |
Educating coaches on wheelchair tennis is one of the primary goals of the ITF Development Department and is clearly one of the most fundamental keys to the continued evolution of this fast growing sport.
By way of aiding this process, the ITF Wheelchair Tennis Coaches Review has been published periodically since 2001 with the aim of becoming a valuable vehicle in not only improving the level of wheelchair tennis coaching, but also educating all coaches to the unique facets of this variation of tennis.
