The San Diego District Tennis Association, in collaboration with the USTA, USTA Foundation, Naval Medical Center San Diego and Balboa Tennis Club, will host the Fourth Annual National Wounded Warrior Tennis Camp, May 18-24, 2015 (travel dates May 18 & 24) in San Diego. The application deadline is Feb 28, 2015.
The event is part of a proven program that for the past six years has provided tennis-based rehabilitation to more than 600 wounded, ill and injured service members and veterans from all the military branches to aid in their physical and emotional recoveries. The program has been featured in local, regional and national publications and has received accolades from senior Department of Defense officials for its excellence and impact.
More than 50 wounded, ill and injured service members and veterans from across the country are expected to participate in the May 2015 camp. And as in previous years, the San Diego District Tennis Association is working with national foundations, tennis industry representatives, disabled sports clubs, military and veteran support organizations, community service groups, local businesses, tennis clubs, and individuals to cover all participants’ airfare, lodging, meals, transportation, tennis equipment and instruction.
