4 Official Rules and Overview of Unified Team Tennis Program Special Olympics Maryland Unified Team Tennis matches are governed by the rules summarized in this document and by the United States Tennis Association (USTA) rules. 1. Unified Team Tennis Format: In Unified Team Tennis, doubles teams composed of players with and without disabilities play together in matches against doubles teams of similar ability levels. The outcome of each doubles match helps to determine the Unified Tennis Team s final score. 2. Team Scoring: One point is awarded to a team for each victorious doubles or (when necessary) singles match. This follows interscholastic high school tennis scoring rules. For individual skills competition, the participant who scores the highest score will earn one (1) point for his/her team. 3. Each doubles team will compete in at least one (1) scoring doubles match or (when necessary) singles match. Teams may compete in matches in which one or both of the teams will not score points for their team. This designation will be determined prior to competition. If both teams are not eligible to score points for their team, the match will be considered exhibition. These matches are important to allow for participation opportunities. Additionally, if only one team is eligible to score points for their team, the opposing team can block them from scoring. For example, Team A is competing against Team B. The match is not a scoring match for team A, Team B is eligible for scoring. Team A wins, thus no points are awarded to either team, because the match was nonscoring for Team A. If Team B wins, they score one (1) point for their team. 4. Roster Sizes: Team rosters consist of a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 10 players. A high school may have two or more Unified Tennis teams, provided each one meets the roster size specifications and proportionality guidelines below. 5. Students with all types of disabilities should be recruited to participate. Following are guidelines when assembling a Unified Tennis team. The best Unified Sports experience is achieved when there is a proportionate number of students with and without disabilities on the roster. Ideally, 50% of the team members should have a disability such as an intellectual or related developmental disability (i.e. autism, traumatic brain injury, severe learning disability, or an identified cognitive delay) or a physical disability. 2
5 If possible, 50% of the roster should be comprised of students without disabilities to create a fulfilling inclusion experience. Again, these are guidelines for team formation. Each school will have different challenges and student population sizes so there is some flexibility in the proportionality on the roster. However, it is important to work as hard as possible to ensure 50% of the roster has students with disabilities to fulfill the spirit and intent of the Maryland Fitness and Athletics Equity for Students with Disabilities Law. 6. Unified Tennis is a fully inclusive program. All doubles teams should be composed of one player with a disability and one player without a disability who have similar skills as defined by their rating score. Only in situations when it is impossible to find matching players with and without disabilities can a doubles team have two players with a disability or two players without a disability. 7. Utilizing the Unified Tennis Rating System (derived from the United States Tennis Association (USTA) National Tennis Rating Program), all players will have their ability level assessed and receive a rating score. This is essential in determining appropriately divisioned doubles and singles matches for competition. 8. When assembling a doubles team, the players need to be as closely aligned in ability as possible. Players either should have the same rating (Player A and Player B have a 4 rating) or vary by no more than 5.0 points (Player A has a 11 rating and Player B has a 15 rating). 9. Scheduling Doubles Matches: When scheduling matches for a competition, doubles teams with similar rating scores need to play each other and (if necessary) singles players with similar rating scores need to play each other. A doubles team rating score is the combined score of the two players (i.e. Player A is a 4 and Player B is a 5 giving their doubles team a score of 9). 10. Competition Lineups: A coach may activate no fewer than 6 and no more than 10 players to compete in a Unified Team Tennis competition. Schools with rosters 12 or larger may have two Unified Tennis teams participate. 11. There are no substitutions allowed for a doubles team during a match. If a player is unable to complete the match, his/her team will forfeit. 3
6 12. Use of Designated Tennis Balls for Competition: The ratings of doubles teams determine what type of ball must be used in competition. Following are the requirements: Short Court Matches: Doubles teams with a combined score of between 12 and 20 play Short Court tennis and use a 75% lower compression ball (red and yellow striped ball). Doubles teams with a combined rating of will play full court (78 ) using a 50% lower compression ball (orange and yellow striped ball). Doubles teams with a combined rating of will play full court (78 ) using a 25% lower compression ball (green and yellow striped ball). Doubles teams with a combined rating of will play full court (78 ) using a regulation ball (yellow ball). 13. Short Court Tennis In Short Court play, all of the rules are the same with one major exception: The service boxes are used as boundary lines for a match the alleys are out of bounds. 4
7 Competition Formats: Following are the competition formats to be used which are based on the number of players on both teams. Each team has 6 players: At least three scoring doubles matches are played Each team has 7 players: At least three scoring doubles matches and one singles match are played Each team has 8 players: At least four scoring doubles matches are played or three doubles matches and two singles matches are played Each team has 9 players: At least four scoring doubles matches and one singles match are played Each team has 10 players: At least five scoring doubles matches are played When one team has more players than the opposing team, these additional players compete in an exhibition singles match. Example: Team A has 6 players and Team B has 8 players. Team B s two additional players play a singles exhibition match. Match Play Rules 1. The USTA short set format will be used. A match consists of the best 2 out of 3 sets. In a short set, the team that wins 4 games wins that set, provided there is a winning margin of 2 games. o If a set is at 4-3, another game is played and the set is finished if the team leading wins the game, making it 5-3. o If the set reaches 4-4, a 7 point tie-break game is played. The first team to win 7 points wins the tie-breaker, provided the winning margin is 2 points. If the match score is 1-1, a 7 point tie-break game is used as the format for the third set to decide the match. The team that first wins 7 points wins this tie-breaker and the match, provided the winning margin is 2 points. 2. Game Scoring: The No-Ad scoring system will be used. The first team to reach 4 points wins the game. If the game is tied at 3-3, the seventh point becomes the game point for each team. 5
8 Wheelchair Tennis Rules and Other Modifications Following is a summary of the USTA wheelchair tennis rules: Players using a wheelchair are allowed two bounces of the ball. The second bounce can be in or out of the court boundaries. The wheelchair is considered to be part of the body and all applicable rules which apply to a player s body apply to the wheelchair. The server shall, throughout the delivery of a service, not touch with any wheel any area other than that behind the baseline. When a wheelchair tennis player is playing with or against a player who does not use a wheelchair in singles or doubles, the rules for wheelchair tennis only apply for the wheelchair player. For example, during play a wheelchair player is allowed two bounces and the player not using a wheelchair is allowed one bounce. Visual Impairments or Other Disabilities: Additional modifications for players with visual impairments or other physical disabilities will be implemented when necessary. 6
9 Match Play Rules Summary Competition will be governed by the Rules of Tennis from the official Code of the United States Tennis Association. The USTA publishes these rules in the publication FRIEND at COURT. Please note items of particular interest below. Service: The service motion may be underhand or overhand. The ball shall not bounce before being struck. The player must stand behind the service line (i.e. baseline in full court play; service box in short court play). Players serving must remain behind the line until contact with the ball is made. If the player s foot touches or crosses any part of the line, it is considered a footfault. Service momentum may carry a player over the line only after the ball is struck. Scoring: Competition will be 2 out of 3 short sets. Short set to 4 games, win by two games. At 4-4, a 7-point tiebreak is played. At sets 1-1, a 7-point tiebreak game is played. No-ad scoring shall be used for all match play. Continuous Play: 20 seconds between points 90 seconds on change-overs No break after 1 st game Coaching: Players may receive coaching from a designated coach when the player changes ends at the end of a game. Coaching is not allowed during the tiebreak. Balls: The Revolution red foam balls (pictured right) are an excellent training and teaching tool which should be used in practice for beginner or lower ability players to provide them with a faster means of acquiring skills and building confidence and success. 7
10 Four balls will be used for all competition. Description (pictured left to right): Players competing in Individual Tennis Skills Competition will use 75% lower compression balls (red & yellow striped ball). Additionally, doubles teams with a combined score of between (individual scores between 5-10) will play Short Court tennis using 75% lower compression tennis balls (red & yellow striped ball). Doubles teams with a combined rating of (individual scores between 11-15) will play full court using 50% lower compression tennis balls (orange & yellow). Doubles teams with a combined rating of (individual scores between 16-20) will play full court using 25% lower compression tennis balls (green & yellow). Doubles teams with a combined rating of 41 or higher (individual score 21 or higher) will play full court using yellow tennis balls. Medical Timeouts and Bathroom Breaks: A medical timeout for each new medical condition, or aggravation of a preexisting condition may be taken during the warm-up or match for a treatable medical condition. Treatable medical conditions include, but are not limited to injury, illness, and heat-related conditions and cramps. A player may request one bathroom break during the match. Players may be escorted during bathroom breaks. Coaching is not allowed during medical or toilet breaks. Scoring: One point is awarded to a team for each winning doubles match. At the conclusion of competition, the team with the highest point total shall be declared the champion. In the event of a tie for team points, the tie will be determined by the following: 1. Least number of sets lost 2. Least number of games lost Protests Protests must be filed within 30 minutes of the completion of a match. Players or coaches can protest a misinterpretation of a rule but not a judgment call. Protests are to be submitted in writing to the Control tent. 8
11 Points of Emphasis Sportsmanship In the spirit of sportsmanship, at the conclusion of each match teams should come together and shake hands. Line Calls One of the great aspects of tennis is the honor system that we have regarding calling lines. Coaches should work with all players to ensure understanding of boundaries and how to properly make calls. The coach will (informally) designate at least one player on each doubles team who will make calls quickly and clearly. Tips/Notes: If any part of the ball is touching any part of the line, the ball is in. The Golden Rule is that if you are not 100% sure about a call, then always give the benefit of doubt to your opponent. If you are % certain a ball was out, you must call it in because you are not 100% certain it was out. Out call shall be made almost instantaneously with ball contact, and definitely before ball is struck by opponent or is out of play. The player will signal by yelling OUT and raising his/her hand. If line calls are disputed on multiple occasions, either opponent has the right to request a lines judge. In this case, an independent person will fulfill this duty, or each opposing coach will designate one representative. Take the time to review the video presentation - Event Appropriateness Unified Team Tennis allows players to safely and successfully participate and contribute to the success of their team. In order to do so, players need to train and compete in events appropriate for their skill level as determined during the player assessments. Principle of Meaningful Involvement The most important one of the 7 Criteria for the Success of a Special Olympics Unified Sports Program is the principle of meaningful involvement. Fundamentally, the principle of meaningful involvement ensures that every player is given an opportunity to contribute to the success of his or her team through their unique skills and qualities. This means that every teammate: (a) demonstrates sufficient sport-specific skills and game understanding; (b) plays a valued role on the team that emphasizes his or her personal talents; and (c) has an opportunity to play without a heightened risk of injury. 9
12 All team members must be engaged and provide their own individual abilities and strengths. In so doing, athletes and partners may have different perspectives. The athletes on the team may not be accustomed to the experience of having their contributions accepted and respected. In addition, partners may need to be encouraged to play to their own personal bests while being a good teammate to others. Consequently, when Unified Sports teams are created, it is extremely important that both athletes and partners are assessed as to their abilities and game play. While there could be noticeable differences in their skills, the coach will be able to observe their overall performance to determine if they have the requisite skills and understanding to safely participate on this team. The goal is that every teammate should play a meaningful role and have the opportunity to contribute his or her strengths to their Unified Sports team. There should be a quality of social interaction and communication among teammates that allows everyone to participate fully and enjoy a positive experience. Indicators of Meaningful Involvement Teammates compete without causing undue risk of injury to themselves or others. Teammates participate according to the rules of competition. Teammates have the ability and opportunity to contribute to the success of the team. Teammates adjust their skills according to those of other players, resulting in improved performance by team members with lesser ability. Meaningful involvement is not achieved when certain team members Display superior sports skills without involving their teammates. Serve predominantly as on-field coaches rather than teammates or mentors. Control most aspects of the game, especially during the most critical periods. Do not train or practice regularly and only show up on the day of competition. Lower their level of ability dramatically so that they do not hurt others or control the entire game. Note: It is important that all coaches and program leaders understand the Principle of Meaningful Involvement prior to the selection of team members. As you can see, Unified Sports further meets the mission of Special Olympics and embraces the philosophy and principles of Special Olympics Unified Sports. I don t see many differences. Athletes and partners both want to compete. And everyone wants to have fun. Don Hess, Unified Sports coach 10
13 Simplified 7-point Tie-Break If the set score reaches 4-4 in the 1st or 2nd set, a 7-point tiebreak is played to determine the winner of the set. The first team to win 7 points, with a margin of 2 points, wins the set. The team whose turn it is to serve (this is also the team that served the 1st game of the set), serves the 1st point of the tiebreak from the right side of the court. Players then serve in the same serving rotation that has been used through the set. For example, in a doubles game of A-B versus C-D, with A having served the first game of the set, A serves the first point (from the right side); C serves points 2 and 3 (left and right); B serves points 4 and 5 (left and right); D serves point 6 (left) and after the teams change ends, D serves point 7 (right); A serves points 8 and 9 (left and right); C serves points 10 and 11 (left and right); B serves point 12 (left). This continues until one team wins 7 points, with a margin of 2 points. If the score reaches 6-6, the teams change ends and continue in the same pattern until one team is ahead by 2 points. In the example, B would serve point 13 after the end change (from right side). If the set continues beyond 6-6, teams change ends every 6 points. For the next set, the teams change ends and C-D serves the first game. The score of the tiebreak set is written 5-4(x) or 4-5(x), with (x) being the number of points won by the loser of the tie break. For example, 5-4(4) means the tiebreak score was 7-4. The same tie-break process is used to play a match tiebreak when each team wins one set and the set score reaches 1-1. In a match tiebreak, the 3rd set tiebreak is written as 1-0. For example, 4-2, 3-5, 1-0 (5), which means the winner won the 1st set 4-2, lost the 2nd set 3-5, and won the 3rd set tiebreak
14 Winning the Toss SOURCE: The rule is that if a player(s) win the coin toss (racket spin), that player(s) may either: Choose to serve or receive in the first game of the match, in which case the opponent(s) shall choose the end of the court for the first game of the match. -OR- Choose end of the court, in which case the opponent(s) choose to serve or receive first. To REQUIRE the opponent(s) to make one of the above 2 choices; to either serve or receive first OR to chose end of the court to begin the match. The player(s) who won the toss initially and chose to defer to their opponent(s, may now make one of the two above choices, to choose either end of the court OR to chose to serve or receive first, which depends upon the opponents choice of #1 or #2. The winning of the toss does not entitle player(s) to make all decisions. Once you require your opponent to make the initial decision, it is like they won the toss. However, the one thing they cannot do is to defer back to you. The must choose either #1 or #2. The advantage of winning the toss and requiring your opponents to make the initial decision has to do a player s preference in serving, especially in doubles. In doubles, many players prefer to serve from a particular side of the court. Some serve well into the sun, others do not. By requiring your opponents to make the initial decision, you control the side that you and your partner prefer to serve from throughout the first set. 12

16 Individual Tennis Skills Competition 1. There are rare occasions when a participant has significant physical and intellectual challenges that preclude him/her from playing on a Short Court Doubles team. These individuals do not have the requisite skills to play tennis and have a Rating Score of 1 or less. There is great value for the few individuals who qualify in this group to be included in an inclusive team experience. 2. Special Olympics offers Individual Tennis Skills for players unable to play on a Short Court Doubles team. 3. Every attempt should be made to work diligently and patiently with a player so he/she can play on a Short Court Unified doubles team. Individual Tennis Skills should only be used as a final option if playing Short Court doubles is absolutely not achievable. 4. Students doing Individual Tennis Skills attend practices and attend competitions. 5. To make practices and the competition inclusive, another player is paired with a teammate to work together. The teammate with the necessary prerequisite assessment score is eligible to play on a Unified Tennis doubles team and be a peer mentor in Individual Tennis Skills. The Individual Tennis Skills Competition will use the 75% lower compression tennis ball (orange and yellow striped balls). 6. Team Scoring: A player s final score is determined by adding together the scores achieved in each of the events which comprise the Individual Skills Competition. One point is awarded to a team for the highest Individual Skills score. 14
17 Individual Tennis Skills Competition Events Forehand Volley The athlete stands approximately one meter from the net with the feeder on the other side positioned halfway between the service line and the net. Each player is given five attempts to hit a ball safely over the net. The feeder underhand tosses each ball to the athlete s forehand side. Each player is given 5 attempts to hit a ball safely over the net. The player scores 10 points for hitting into the backcourt on or between the baseline, service line and singles sidelines. The player scores 5 points for hitting into either service box. Backhand Volley Same as forehand volley except feeder sends the balls to player s backhand side. Each athlete is given 5 attempts. Forehand Groundstroke The player stands on or behind the baseline. The ball feeder, positioned halfway between the net and service line on the same side of the net, underhand tosses the ball so it bounces once before reaching the player s forehand side. Each player is given 5 attempts. The player scores 10 points for hitting into the backcourt on or between the baseline, service line, and singles sidelines. The player scores 5 points for hitting into either service box. Backhand Groundstroke The same rules and scoring as the Forehand Groundstroke are used except the feeder sends the ball to the player s backhand side. Each player is given 5 attempts. 15

21 Uniform Requirements Participants are required to be in school uniform for all regular season and tournament play. It is the responsibility of the match/tournament director and match officials to enforce these regulations and the decision of the official is the final decision. All uniform complaints must be registered before the start of the match. Coaches are required to complete and submit the Request for Ruling Report to the tournament director. During the regular season, the ruling will be made by the host administration (in the absence of trained officials). It will be the responsibility of the tournament director to make the ruling.

22 PENALTIES 1. Player may not begin play with an illegal uniform. If a legal uniform cannot be obtained, the player is disqualified in that event (uniform violations do not apply during warm-ups). 2. Once the match has begun and a uniform violation is noted, an automatic penalty will be assessed to the player. The player must immediately comply with the uniform rule or the player will be disqualified from the event. 3.

23 Player Assessments An independent USTA/SOMD designee will use Unified Tennis Rating system to evaluate players and place them in appropriate event, providing for equal competition among teams. The system is modeled after levels 1 to 3 of the USTA National Tennis Rating Program (NTRP) to categorize playing ability into (8) levels. Each level consists of components evaluating forehand, backhand, serve, volleys, and court movement. By using the Unified Tennis Rating, we hope to provide for consistency among raters throughout the state. 21
