Vilnius, Lithuania hosted a historic event from November 30 to December 1, 2024. The first-ever Lithuanian Blind Tennis Championship brought together the country’s most talented players and offered the public an opportunity to learn more about this rapidly growing adaptive sport.
“Blind tennis is a sport that requires exceptional concentration, quick reactions, and intuition. We hope this championship will inspire more blind and visually impaired people in Lithuania to take an interest in this sport,” says Karolis Verbliugevičius, president of the “Blind Sport Lt” association in Lithuania. Blind and visually impaired tennis promotes active movement but also boosts self-confidence, improves orientation skills, and provides great joy – every successful return of the sound-emitting ball builds self-esteem and motivates further improvement.
