On August 12-14 ,Magee Rehabilitation Hospital hosted its annual wheelchair tennis tournament at Cherry Hill Health and Racquet Club. It was a great event with many smiles but also competitiveness from the players. Thankfully, the tournament was held indoors; everyone was happy to get out of the summer heat!
There were a total of 18 players in the tournament, and all participated in singles and doubles. Three members of the Magee Freedoms wheelchair tennis team played in the tournament, pictured below.
Thank you to tournament director Mark Chilutti (pictured above, center) for volunteering his time to make this a wonderful event!
