• 4 MINUTE READ
Over 70 inspirational individuals and venues across Great Britain have been named as regional winners of this year’s LTA Tennis Awards.
Selected from over 2,100 nominations across 11 categories, the winners have been recognised by the LTA for their outstanding contribution to tennis over the past year.
Launched in 2015, the LTA Tennis Awards celebrate the thousands of individuals involved in tennis – from the 25,000 volunteers, to the 4,400 coaches and 940 officials. They also highlight the incredible achievements of 20,000 schools, 2,700 clubs and over 9,700 LTA approved tournaments in helping to grow the sport.
Progressing from the county stage of the awards, this year’s regional winners will now go forward to be considered for the national shortlist in each of their respective categories.
Commenting on this year’s regional winners, LTA CEO Scott Lloyd said:
“The LTA Tennis Awards acknowledge the extraordinary contribution of the individuals and venues that help us open tennis up, bringing new fans and players to the game. Now more than ever, it is important we celebrate their contributions and hope that tennis can rally together to get through this very challenging time.”
