Develop Your Tennis Facilities

A transparent process is in place providing clear guidance and setting out the expectations for financial support. This process ensures investments will deliver the maximum return for British Tennis for the limited resources available.

The majority of grant funding available is derived from central government and allocated to British Tennis through the successful partnership with Sport England. There is a commitment to Sport England that the number of people playing tennis once a week will increase by 115,000 by 2013.

Investment in the right projects, supported by the right people is key if this target is to be achieved. In addition to this there is also LTA loan and grant funding available.

Projects that will be prioritised include:-

• Projects that will increase the number of adults and juniors participating on a regular basis
• Projects that will enable more adults and juniors to compete on a regular basis
• Projects that develop our talent pool and secure a winning future at the top level
• Improving facilities to meet increased customer expectations and deliver a quality experience
• Boosting capacity and bringing poor quality courts back into use – parks and local authority sites
