MCTA proudly announces its partnership with the Special Olympics of Montgomery County, MD and seeks active volunteers to support the program.  Tennis has recently been added as an official Special Olympics sport in the State of Maryland. The 2008 Spring season is now completed, having served 30 athletes through 60+ volunteers. The program will return August 17 at the Cabin John Outdoor Tennis Courts next to the ice rink and run until the Maryland State Fall Games that will be held on October 25th at Mount Saint Mary's College in Emmitsburg Maryland.

MCTA is now recruiting volunteers to train and participate with the Special Olympics athletes. Volunteers must be 11 years of age or older, including adults.  Volunteer assignments will range from assisting and participating in tennis practice sessions, to formal partnering with a Special Olympics athlete for the term of the season.
