To achieve the overall aims of British Tennis by increasing the number of people participating, juniors competing and providing accessible coaching, the delivery of the Places to Play strategy will prioritise the funding available to:
- Building low cost, quality indoor structures
- Floodlighting outdoor courts
- Renovating park courts
These facilities demonstrate the most significant tennis payback – they generate the maximum number of playing hours per pound invested. An estimated return (hours/day) for each investment is shown below:
