Narrative

Handi-Racket Tennis is an instructional tennis program for people with disabilities. It was founded in 1977 by Laury Hammel, CEO of The Longfellow Club, Wayland, MA. Handi-Racket Tennis offers the opportunity to learn the great game of tennis to a population that might not otherwise have the chance.

We are based at The Longfellow Club in Wayland and play on Saturdays from October until June. We are the largest group of tennis athletes at Special Olympics Massachusetts. We serve athletes from Attleboro, Belmont, Concord, Danvers, Framingham, Medford, Newton, North Reading, Saugus, Sudbury, Wellesley and Weston.
