The 2023 LTA Coach Forums are aimed at coaches with an interest in developing an on-court practice with grassroots, through to advanced, doubles players. Coaches will network with like-minded coaches and discuss key industry topics relevant to developing themselves and their business. This is an event delivered in partnership with your County, Coach Central and the LTA.

By the end of the LTA Coach Forum, coaches will:

·      Understand the LTA tactical development framework and its application to doubles

·      Be able to deliver and adapt attacking and defending drills for their players

·      Have discussed and shared ideas and actions to develop themselves and their business

On-court session (2 hours)

The on-court session is titled ‘Doubles drills: attacking and defending’. The session will involve a series of doubles exercises co-written by doubles expert Louis Cayer, taken from the British Tennis doubles system, to develop attacking and defending skills for competitive players. In addition to getting some fresh new exercises from tutors, coaches will be challenged to work together to adapt and create their own exercises in a specific game situation based on the LTA’s tactical development framework.

Networking break (30 minutes)

Teas, coffees and snacks will be provided in the networking break between the on-court and off-court sessions. This is an opportunity to catch up with friends and like-minded coaches in the area.

Off-court session (1 hour 30 minutes)

The off-court session will be an interactive coach-to-coach discussion session. The main theme will be ‘Developing yourself and your business’. Coaches will have the chance to discuss their own personal development and how to grow their business. We hope these professional coach discussions will leave coaches: informed on best practice; connected; motivated and engaged for the year ahead.

The overall duration of this event is 4 hours. Book your session now to secure your place and we look forward to seeing you on the day.
