T3Tennis Hosts First Annual USTA Sanctioned Tournament at JSerra

T3 Adaptive Racquet Sports • August 24, 2024

Six T3 athletes compete in milestone event with support from USTA grant.

On August 24, 2024, T3Tennis proudly hosted its first-ever USTA sanctioned wheelchair tournament at JSerra Catholic High School. This milestone event brought together six athletes, all from the T3 family, to compete in a day filled with great matches, community spirit, and first-time tournament experiences.

Tournament Highlights

  • Ian Tellez, who traveled from Tijuana, Mexico, claimed the singles championship title. Ian is now attending Southwest Minnesota University on a basketball scholarship, and we were thrilled to celebrate his tennis success as well.
  • Maci and Zack both played in their first official USTA tournament. At just 10 years old, Maci showed incredible courage and determination. Her family has since relocated to North Carolina due to her father’s U.S. Marine Corps service, and we are grateful to have been part of her early tennis journey.

This tournament was made possible thanks to funding from a USTA grant, helping us create more opportunities for adaptive athletes to compete at the highest levels.


We are proud of all our athletes who competed and grateful to the USTA for supporting this milestone event. This is just the beginning, we look forward to building on the success of the 1st Annual JSerra USTA Sanctioned Wheelchair Tournament for years to come.
