Nottingham City Council are proud to announce that Nottingham Tennis Centre has been selected as a pre-game paralympic training camp for the London Olympics 2012.

The Tennis Centre represents one of a number of facilities in the UK to be included in the Pre-Games Training Camp Guide for Paralympic sports which will be published this summer by the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (LOCOG).

The Guide lists high quality sports facilities which are capable of hosting visiting teams or individual athletes wishing to prepare to take part in the London Olympic and Paralympic Games.  

Nottingham Tennis Centre plays host to the British Open Wheelchair event in July and the British Open Indoor Wheelchair event in October, in addition to regular wheelchair training camps.

Councillor Dave Trimble, Portfolio Holder for Culture, Leisure and Communities said: "We’re delighted that the Nottingham Tennis Centre has been selected as a venue for pre-game paralympic training. It’s a testament to Nottingham’s reputation as a sporting city and a much needed boost following the LTA’s decision to relocate the Men’s ATP tour in 2009."

A certificate of verification was presented to the Centre during today’s announcement to mark the occasion.
