2025 Mississippi Rock & Roll Wheelchair Tennis Tournament
This year’s Mississippi Rock & Roll Wheelchair Tennis Tournament marked a significant milestone in participation and player engagement. Held at the Brandon City Courts in Brandon, MS, the event welcomed 28 dedicated athletes—a notable increase from 2024, reflecting the growing momentum and visibility of wheelchair tennis across the Southern Section and neighboring sections. Players from Oklahoma, Florida, Louisiana,Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee were present. The broad representation underscored the tournament’s growing reputation as a regional hub for competitive and inclusive wheelchair tennis.
A Thoughtful Shift in Timing - After gathering feedback through a player survey, the tournament committee made the strategic decision to move the event from April to October. The response from our wheelchair tennis community was overwhelmingly positive. Cooler weather, better travel conditions, and alignment with players’ schedules contributed to a more comfortable and accessible experience for all.
Hospitality That Builds Community - True to tradition, the tournament provided two meals a day, ensuring players and volunteers were well-nourished and energized throughout the weekend. Sunday wrapped up with a crowd-pleasing pizza lunch—a simple but beloved ritual that brings everyone together in celebration and camaraderie.
Beyond the Matches - The Rock & Roll Tournament continues to be more than just a competition. It’s a space where athletes connect, communities rally, and the spirit of inclusion shines. From first-time participants to seasoned players, the event fosters a sense of belonging and pride in Mississippi’s adaptive sports landscape.
