The LTA has developed a range of resources and good practice documentation to assist you in managing and promoting your club.
It is important that you help your team of coaches and volunteers to develop their skills, and to deliver a great service to your members. Resources have been produced to assist you in recruiting and developing your workforce. You are required to submit copies of the job descriptions you use to recruit coaches and volunteers, and to outline how you help coaches and volunteers to develop.
Clubs need to develop good, long lasting relationships with all of their customers. Members should be given the opportunity to contribute to the running of the club, and they should be regularly updated with events, meetings and other opportunities for participation.
You should identify a suitable process for receiving feedback from club members and guests. You must detail how you welcome new members to your club, and describe the mechanisms you use to keep existing members informed.
To be successful, your club needs to attract new players, retain them, and help them to improve their game. It is really important to promote your club locally, to ensure potential members know what’s available and how they can get involved. Clubs should also be proactive in encouraging all members of the community to participate in tennis. Make it clear that the venue and activities on offer are available, accessible and welcoming to disabled people.
