Barclays Free Park Tennis Activators are volunteers who facilitate, rather than coach, one-hour, social, and free community tennis sessions to encourage participation. The role involves welcoming players, organizing simple, LTA-provided games, and supporting session logistics.

The Tennis Maison is a coaching-led club where sessions are planned, purposeful, and built around long-term development.

We are a commercial club, open to all ages and abilities, but our internal standard is high. Our coaching approach is shaped by first-hand experience and training in France, Belgium, Japan, the USA, and the UK, combining proven academy principles into a clear, practical system.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

Strong emphasis on how to coach, teach and train, not just feeding balls
Clear technical and tactical frameworks
Session structure with purpose
Established for over ten years with large clientele
We have helped develop three professional players, but we work daily with juniors, adults, and recreational players. Everything we teach must work in a real-world coaching environment.

This volunteer role is perfect for tennis enthusiasts looking to make a real impact in the local community.

Beyond supporting grassroots tennis, this position offers a unique pathway into the industry: standout volunteers may have the opportunity to progress into a paid coaching role with The Tennis Maison.

While our professional coaching positions require an LTA Level 2 qualification (or equivalent) or above, this is an ideal stepping stone for those currently working towards their certification. It’s a fantastic way to gain hands-on experience, build your network, and get a head start on your coaching career.
