GoNoodle and USTA introduce wheelchair tennis programming for students
GoNoodle and the USTA have partnered to launch educational videos featuring wheelchair tennis champion Charlie Cooper to promote inclusive physical activity.
GoNoodle, in collaboration with the United States Tennis Association (USTA), has launched a new series of educational videos featuring Junior Grand Slam champion Charlie Cooper. The initiative is designed to introduce wheelchair tennis to millions of elementary school students across the United States.
The content coincides with the 50th anniversary of wheelchair tennis, a milestone marking five decades of the sport's development. The videos provide interactive, tennis-inspired challenges that focus on coordination, breathing, and mental focus, requiring no prior experience or specialized equipment.
GoNoodle CEO KC Estenson stated that the program aims to help children recognize the value of diversity in sports. For Cooper, the project represents a return to his roots, as he noted that he grew up using GoNoodle resources in his own classrooms before his professional athletic career.
