Coaching in Schools

Coaches and schools across Durham & Cleveland and Northumberland help deliver tennis in primary and secondary schools throughout the year. These opprtunities can take place before, during and after school times.  Thousands of children are introduced to tennis each year in school and are then encouraged to carry on playing at their local club or centre. This helps tennis venues grow their membership and coaching programmes, whilst also adding to the school's curriculum.

Schools Tennis Competitions

Children are given the opportunity to compete in tennis competitions in school. There is currently the Tony Blair Sports Foundation Year 3 Schools competition being run in Durham & Cleveland and Northumberland. This is the most prestigious Year 3 competition in the country.

These events are organised locally each year. If you are a Club or Coach and are interested in getting involved please contact Jo Cunliffe at Jo.Cunliffe@LTA.org.uk.

There are several courses that teachers and young people can attend to help them deliver tennis activities in school or at their local club.  These courses are:

• Primary Schools Teachers Course
• Secondary Schools Teachers Course
• Tennis Leaders Award
• Competition Organisers Course

If you would like to attend one of these courses or organise a course in your area, please contact Jo.Cunliffe@LTA.org.uk
