A group of people with physical challenges and prosthetics got a chance to try tennis Saturday.

First Volley was put on by Orthotic Prosthetic Technologies at the Circle C Tennis Club.

The whole idea was to help participants challenge their limits.

"When you lose part of your body, there's nothing really like it I don't think, too much. It's very quick, very, it stops you in your tracks for a little while," Orthotic and Prosthetic Technologies spokesperson Frieda Borth said.

Wheelchair athletes were also able to play.

It was the second year for the clinic to be held in Austin.
