    Community inclusiveness is a pillar of who we are in Minnetonka, and we're proud of our employees and community members who work to build a more inclusive and equitable city for all. That's why we're so excited for the new wheelchair tennis program at Williston Fitness Center! “The joy of sports for all abilities makes a huge difference, not only for health and well-being, but for connecting with the community," says adaptive tennis player, and Williston regular, Kate Aquila. Tennis is one of the most integrated adaptive sports, said Aquila, noting the primary difference is wheelchair players get two bounces. However, wheelchair tennis facilities are rare, noted Williston Tennis Manager Felicia Raschiatore, who saw an opportunity to bring tennis to more athletes. “[While chatting with Aquila] a light bulb went off in my head: Minneapolis-St. Paul should have more than one wheelchair tennis program,” she said. “We are very excited to add wheelchair tennis to our current program.” “One of the things I love about coming to Williston, I feel it’s genuinely an inclusive place for the community,” Aquila said. “Williston goes above and beyond … and it reflects the ethos of [staff] that they want to create more sport and activity for all.” The wheelchair tennis program runs Tuesdays, June 11-Aug. 13, 4:30-6 p.m. for youth and adults (ages 8+). Weekly classes are $10.
