Every once in awhile, life throws you a curveball that results in a few surprises. That’s exactly how a group of tennis players from Oceanside’s Point Set Indoor Racquet Club felt the first time they played tennis. But these players are unique because they play tennis and have Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

In the early 1980s, I received a phone call while in the middle of a staff meeting. The caller was requesting to enter a men’s tournament. Being rather busy at the moment, I told him that I would transfer his call to the tournament director. He interrupted by saying that he had a potential problem. I asked what the problem was and he told me that he was in a wheelchair. I must admit that I was a little taken aback and told him that I didn’t have time right then to discuss it with him, but that if he liked, I would hit some balls with him the next day as long as he understood that I would be very honest and upfront about what I thought the possibility of someone playing in a wheelchair was. He agreed and we met the next morning at Point Set Indoor Racquet Club. John Johnson showed up on time in an unusual wheelchair and we went on to the court.
