Wheelchair tennis stars Jordanne Whiley and Marc McCarroll have been helping to inspire the next generation of Paralympians at the Tennis Foundation's first wheelchair tennis camp of 2013.
Whiley, a bronze medallist in the doubles at London 2012, and British No.2 McCarroll attended the development camp at Gosling Sports Centre, Hertfordshire.
The camps are designed for beginners, as well developing players, to get a feel for the sport with LTA licensed coaches passing on top tips over two days.
With 13 people attending the weekend Whiley said: "I love having the opportunity to pass on advice to new players and I get just as much out of it as they do. It doesn't matter what disability you might have, tennis can still be the sport for you so I'd encourage everyone to have a go."
McCarroll was particularly excited to see so many people trying the sport out for the first time.
"There was a really great bunch of people trying out wheelchair tennis, some of them for the first time, and it was really positive to see such enthusiasm on the courts at Gosling Sports Centre," he said.
"Everyone had a lot of fun and it's great for me to be involved in showing new people what a fun sport tennis is to play."
Tennis Foundation's Disability Development Manager Dan Absolon added: "We've had great feedback from everyone who attended our first camp of the year and we are excited to be running camps for a number of impairment groups throughout 2013."
"The camps aren't only a taster for the sport, but a chance to meet likeminded people to have some fun and enjoy the health benefits at the same time."
