ASD Sunshine Tennis (Junior Tennis Program for Children with Special Needs)
This program provides an ideal opportunity for children with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) aged 5–15 to participate in physical activities in a supportive, inclusive, and understanding environment.
Many children with ASD experience anxiety in crowded environments, and their behaviours are sometimes misunderstood, making it difficult for them to access regular sports and community activities. Our goal is to create a welcoming space where children can build confidence, develop social connections, improve coordination, and enjoy the fun of tennis.
What we offer:
- A supportive coach-to-student environment, with additional assistance provided when needed to help children integrate comfortably into the program.
- Coaches who understand and respect the behavioural characteristics and learning needs of children with ASD.
- A course coordinator overseeing the overall program and supporting communication with families.
- Support from volunteers and psychology-related students during sessions.
- Shared lunch provided after each lesson to encourage social interaction.
- Guidance and support for coaches to better engage with students.
- Specially designed tennis equipment and junior rackets provided.
