Mobility cycle

Dr. Bal Moore, coach of the US Olympic wheelchair team says, Mobility is the single most important aspect of wheelchair tennis. It provides the base and transition for balance, timing, motion, and the execution of skills. This is perhaps the biggest difference between wheelchair and able bodied A B tennis. Randy Snow, 10 time US Open wheelchair champion adds, Mastering mobility is probably the most important area in becoming a good wheelchair player. To develop players, coaches need to know the framework and components of wheelchair tennis movement.In order to maximize positioning for any shot, a wheelchair player goes through a Mobility Cycle. The Cycle includes The Neutral Position, Maneuvering the movement of the chair to position for the shot, Preparation setting up for the stroke & the stroke itself, and Recovery the chair movement to prepare for the next shot.
