Buddy Up Tennis

Buddy Up Tennis is a weekly tennis and fitness program specifically created for individuals with Down syndrome. The program allows Athletes with Down syndrome (ages 5+) to progress at their own pace to play competitively. Athletes are partnered with Buddy Volunteers (ages 14+) to provide support, develop friendships, and reinforce the Coaches’ instructions. Coaches are trained to implement the tennis curriculum specifically created for Athletes with Down syndrome. There is no tennis experience required to volunteer. This program is on Saturdays at MVP Athletic Club (115 Crahen Ave NE, Grand Rapids MI 49525) from 10:15am-11:45am. Buddy Up Tennis is a 10-week program that goes from January 24th-March 28th. Can’t wait to see you on the courts!
