Tennis for Veterans: A New Initiative in Odesa
On February 3, 2026, an open tennis training session for war veterans took place at the Panorama Tennis Club, organized by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Office of Physical Culture and Sports of the Odesa City Council along with representatives of the NGO «Free Warriors».
This event marked the beginning of a larger project aimed at providing war veterans in Odesa with regular tennis sessions, including adaptive tennis.
The initiative for veterans was launched in our city for the first time thanks to the financial support of sports organizations as part of the City Target Program «Development of Physical Culture and Sports in Odesa for 2024-2028».
The project is based on the principle of "equal to equal", where veterans themselves define their priorities and needs in the field of adaptive sports.
The organization and communication for the preparation of the event were handled by community representatives and veterans, with resource support provided by the city authorities.
All interested war veterans can join the training sessions by contacting the NGO «Free Warriors» at: +380954895709.
