Disability tennis
Everyball Enabled is a very well established provider of disability tennis programmes for children and adults with any disabilities, with over 15 years experience. We support the many health and wellbeing benefits of exercise for everyone - studies show that taking part in exercise or sport is great for mental health, a natural way to combat feelings of loneliness or depression. We pride ourselves on creating a safe and nurturing environment for everyone. Our aim is to motivate, inspire and enable people of all abilities, through the power of tennis and sport, to achieve the best they can whilst making friends and having fun along the way!
It’s wonderful to see so many smiling faces after a morning of tennis in such a supportive setting. Several pupils have even chosen to continue attending Halton Tennis sessions beyond the school day, which is a testament to the positive experience they have there.

Programmes
5 to 18 years, Saturday 1-2pm, indoor
Our hugely popular Inclusive Tennis session runs at a ratio of nearly 1:1 (player:helper) by using our brilliant junior helpers alongside our coaches. We play lots of fun tennis and ball games, to help develop agility, balance and co‐ordination skills. We’re always running, throwing, jumping, hitting and laughing throughout the whole session!
12-1pm, Wednesdays, indoor
We have a thriving session for those who have a visual impairment. Our indoor session using soundballs is fantastic fun and all are welcome.
Everyball Enabled regularly reaches out beyond Halton, we curently run a project for students with SEND in 6 local schools.
Working alongside South Bucks School Sports Partnership, we provide Festival sessions throughout the year. At each festival we welcome up to 75 children with SEND (Special Educational Needs or Disabilities) for a fun packed introduction to tennis.
"The ladies are absolutely loving this session and we have seen their confidence and self-esteem soar."
— Helen Krauze, Nclude UK
