Open Tennis Training for Veterans in Odesa
On February 3, 2026, an open tennis training session for war veterans was held at the Panorama Tennis Club, organized by the Department of Veterans Affairs in collaboration with the Odesa City Council's Department of Physical Culture and Sports and representatives of the NGO «Free Warriors».
This event served as a significant presentation of a larger initiative aimed at providing regular tennis and adaptive tennis sessions for war veterans in the city of Odesa.
The tennis sessions for war veterans are a first for our city and were made possible through financial support from 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 the veteran community members themselves identify their priorities and current needs in adaptive sports.
All communication and organizational work for preparation were carried out by community representatives and veterans, with resource support provided by the city authorities.
Any interested war veterans can join the training sessions by contacting the NGO «Free Warriors» at: +380954895709.
