About
We are a group of tennis enthusiasts dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Some of us are parents, volunteers, caregivers or experienced tennis professionals, all united by this common purpose .
Abilities Tennis Association of North Carolina (ATANC) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities through the adapted sport of tennis . Spending time on the courts helps our athletes develop vital social skills, develop independence, forge friendships, increase physical and mental health, build confidence, and realize their unique potential.
Two parents and a tennis coach founded ATANC in 2007 with the goal to create a year-round tennis program for athletes with intellectual disabilities. Collaborating with the NC Tennis Association, they launched one clinic in the Raleigh area. Today, ATANC hosts six tournaments and offers free clinics and programs in more than 30 locations across the state. All programming is free of charge to our participants.
Our mission is to promote fitness, foster community, and champion inclusion for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities through the adapted sport of tennis.
Our athletes are ages 8 and up, come from different backgrounds, and have varying abilities. Thanks to community collaboration and support from grants and generous donations, all programming is free of charge .
