Tennis Hangz
For Neurodivergent Adults Who Are Looking to Connect
A low-pressure morning of Tennis for ND adults + allies at Mittagong Bluebirds Tennis Club.
Tennis Hangz is a relaxed, low-pressure session for ND adults and allies who want a little movement, fresh air and connection — without any pressure to be “good” at tennis.
We’ll have the rackets and balls ready to go, so all you need to do is show up. Friendly hosts will be there to welcome you in and help you settle at your own pace. You’re welcome to have a hit, watch from the sidelines, take breaks whenever you need, or simply enjoy being in a calm, “come as you are” space with no pressure to be sporty or social.
Sunday 17 May | 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM | Bluebirds Tennis Club

What You'll Experience
Start Gentle
Step into the space at Bluebird and take a moment to land. We’ll have the rackets and balls ready, so all you need to do is show up and settle in at your own pace. You’re welcome to watch, have a chat, or ease in slowly before picking up a racket — there’s no rush and no pressure to jump straight in.
Chill & Connect
Once everyone’s settled, you can have a hit, rally with someone, or simply enjoy being around the group in a relaxed, ND-friendly environment. This is about gentle movement, fresh air and low-pressure connection — not competition. Join in as much or as little as feels right for you.
Your Comfort, Your Call
Want to stay quiet, take breaks, use fidgets, wear headphones or step out for a breather? Absolutely welcome. You might connect with someone new, reflect on the film, or simply enjoy being in a space where you can just be. This is your time, your body, your way of being — all of it belongs here.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We understand the importance of clarity and are here to provide answers to your most common queries.
What are Neuro Awesome events?
Neuro Awesome events are safe, low-pressure gatherings designed by and for neurodivergent people (and allies). They’re about building connection, friendship, and community in ways that feel comfortable and authentic.
Who can come?
Our events are open to neurodivergent adults of all ages and experiences, as well as allies who respect our values of inclusion, consent, and safety.
Do I have to join in all the activities?
Not at all. 💜 Our events are self-paced. You choose what feels right for you — whether that’s joining a game, having a chat, or simply relaxing in a quiet space.
What if I feel anxious or need a break?
We’ve got you. Every event has quiet zones and sensory-considerate spaces where you can step away and recharge. Our facilitators are always nearby if you’d like support.
Is this a dating event?
Neuro Awesome began with the idea of helping neurodivergent people find love, and that’s still part of our journey. But our events are broader than dating — they’re about connection in all forms: friendship, community, and belonging.
What about consent and safety?
Consent and safety are at the heart of everything we do. You’re always in control of your experience: no one will pressure you to share, participate, or connect in ways that don’t feel right. Respectful behaviour is expected from all participants.
Do I need to bring anything?
Just yourself! For some events you might want to bring water, a hat, or sunscreen if outdoors. We’ll include any special notes in your event confirmation.
How much do tickets cost?
Ticket prices vary depending on the event. We keep costs as low as possible thanks to our volunteers and sponsors, and your ticket goes directly toward making our events safe and accessible.
Can I come if I don’t know anyone?
Yes! Many people come on their own, and our facilitators are there to help with introductions and icebreakers. You’ll never be left out.
How are events supported?
Neuro Awesome is powered by volunteers, local businesses, and community sponsors. We’re grateful to partners like The Robertson Hotel, Growwild Wildflower Farm, The Fold Southern Highlands, and others who believe in building inclusion.
