Transforming Lives Through Adaptive Racquet Sports
Welcome to T3 Adaptive Racquet Sports
T3 Adaptive Racquet Sports is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to transforming lives by empowering athletes of all abilities through adaptive racquet sports. We believe in breaking barriers, building community, and opening doors to opportunities that extend far beyond the court.. Based in Southern California, we provide athletes of all ages with access to specialized coaching, adaptive equipment, and opportunities to compete locally and nationally.
What started in 2022 as a grassroots effort to help a handful of young wheelchair athletes has grown into a nationally recognized program fostering confidence, skill development, and lifelong connections. Our players are not only athletes, but role models, proving that ability, not disability, defines their path on and off the court.
Our Mission
T3 Adaptive Racquet Sports is dedicated to transforming lives by empowering individuals with physical disabilities through inclusive racquet sports training, competition, and community.
Our Story
T3 Adaptive Racquet Sports began with a vision: to create a space where children and adults with physical disabilities could experience the same joy, challenge, and camaraderie that tennis and other racquet sports bring.
In Orange County, opportunities for adaptive youth sports were limited. T3 stepped in as the only regularly scheduled wheelchair tennis program in the area, quickly becoming a lifeline for families looking for inclusive athletic opportunities.
Over time, we expanded beyond tennis, adding modalities like para-standing and exploring pickleball and badminton, to give every athlete a chance to find their game. With the support of our community, T3 has helped players earn spots on high school teams, pursue D-1 college tennis scholarships, and compete in regional and national tournaments. 8 T3 junior players are currently ranked in the top 20 with the USTA.
But T3 is about more than wins and rankings. It’s about building confidence, fostering friendships, and proving that every individual deserves a chance to chase their dream, even if that dream rolls onto the court on wheels.
