WHAT IS DISABLED TENNIS

Disabled tennis (G-Tennis) is tennis specifically adapted for players with physical or intellectual disabilities. The game is played according to the standard tennis rules, with some adjustments depending on the player's disability. The goal is to give everyone, regardless of their disability, the opportunity to enjoy tennis and participate at both competitive and recreational levels. G-Tennis is available at all levels and can be played on all surfaces. In G-Tennis, the focus is on fun and enthusiasm. It is not only good for fitness but also helps develop motor and social skills of the player.

 


INDOOR D-TENNIS
In the winter, there is often little organized for D-tennis players. The cold temperatures during winter don't make training or tournaments enjoyable. When tennis is played, it is often in an indoor tennis hall, but unfortunately, this can be very expensive.
To support this, Oldtennisballs.com sponsors, among other things, the rental of indoor courts. For every ball collected or sold, a portion goes towards supporting indoor D-tennis, allowing more play during the winter months.

BELOW A SUMMARY OF WHAT OLDTENNISBALLS.COM HAS DONE IN THE PAST YEARS:



G-Tennis Training Indoor 2025
From early December 2024 to the end of March 2025, we are facilitating indoor G-tennis training on the indoor courts at Tennis Club Bastion Baselaar in Rosmalen.

Saturdays between 16:00 - 17:00
Indoor courts 1 and 2

This training provides an excellent opportunity for G-tennis players to improve their skills in a comfortable indoor environment, regardless of the weather outside. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced player, these sessions offer a supportive atmosphere to develop your game. We look forward to welcoming you!

SHOEBOX ACTION 2023
Since 2020, we have been sponsoring schoenendoosactie.nl, a project by GAiN (Global Aid Network), formerly actie4kids. Last year, we were able to give many tennis balls a second life for children in countries such as Malawi, Togo, Sierra Leone, Romania, Moldova, and in the Moria refugee camp on Lesbos. In both 2021 and 2022, we were able to provide a large number of balls for this project.

For 2023, this is, of course, also on the agenda. Our used tennis balls come from 400 tennis clubs in the Netherlands and Belgium that we work with. So, to all the clubs and their members: "Keep collecting tennis balls, and now also padel balls!" Together with Schoenendoosactie.nl, we are giving them an international second life. For more information, visit: www.schoenendoosactie.nl.

  



Sponsorship of Tennis Rackets for G-Tennis at Tennis Club Apollo'69
This year, Apollo'69 received a generous sponsorship from "Oudetennisballen.com" for the purchase of new tennis rackets for G-tennis. "Oudetennisballen.com" visited Apollo'69 in Sevenum on Wednesday, July 13, 2022, to personally hand over the sponsored tennis rackets. Since 2020, TV Apollo has been offering G-tennis. It started with 8 G-players, and now the number has grown to 52 G-players.
