Coaches are at the very heart of tennis in Britain. They are often responsible for the very first experience people have when they step on court, and play a vital role in growing our sport and developing players that compete on the world stage. Through this strategy, we are implementing what is the biggest ever transformation of coach education and development across three key areas.
Who’s ready to Level Up? LTA Youth Start is for kids aged 4-11 years who are new to tennis. We’ll help teach kids new life skills, developing them as both players and people.
Safe to Play is an innovative safeguarding awareness campaign to help keep those involved in sport safe. Its purpose is to ensure all parents, players and coaches are aware of the signs of abuse, how to report a concern and how to keep themselves, children and at-risk adults safe.
