Tennis Leaders Award...
The Tennis Leaders Award is a programme developed by the LTA to help encourage young people to play an active role in delivering the game.
|
 |
| The programme's aim is to help develop the next generation of coaches, tournament organisers, club managers and tournament officials. It is designed for young people aged 13 and over. The Tennis Leaders Award gives participants an opportunity to develop their skills and be recognised for their achievements and commitment. Even if you don’t think you want to work in sport, becoming a Tennis Leader will provide you with the skills, experience and knowledge that will help you when applying for courses, universities and even on your CV when you apply for your first job. |

Those who complete the programme receive a certificate of achievement for every module and recognition for time involved in leader activities. After their training, Tennis Leaders are introduced to working or volunteering in tennis. As a result of their experience leaders may choose to continue in a specific role in coaching, tennis development, officiating or volunteering. They will be offered opportunities on both a local and national level. |
There are 5 modules to the course:
• Introduction to tennis
• Volunteering at your tennis venue
• Leading a practice session
• Helping at your school
• Helping at a competition
*The course requires that each participant is to complete 10 hours of voluntary work. |
