It was founded in 1976-77 by Laury Hammel (Owner of The Longfellow Clubs) and Vicki Hammel, of Parents & Friends of Handicapped Children, and NEPTA (New England Professional Tennis Association).

The Program meets on Saturdays at The Longfellow Club and always has a USPTA professional in charge. The current Executive Director is Sylvia Swartz, a member of the USPTA and a Longfellow teaching pro since 1986. Handi-Racketeers comprises the largest group of tennis athletes at the Massachusetts Special Olympics.
