Tennis facility funding
As part of the LTA facility strategy the LTA have used insight data and mapping technology to identify areas of demand for indoor tennis. The target locations have been established following a detailed demographic review of the UK market and existing indoor tennis centres with a proven sustainable business model.
The LTA Quick Access Loan Scheme provides loans to help venues deliver projects that will grow the number of people playing tennis and padel. The scheme is a part of the LTA’s mission to grow tennis and padel by making it accessible, welcoming, and enjoyable to all.
To attract new players within local communities it's critical that there's access to quality all year round facilities and therefore the LTA will be prioritising the installation and construction of covered courts.
Gate Access Technology allows venues to control access to their courts remotely, enabling them to open up their courts to new and wider audiences than was previously possible, take payment for court bookings, and secure their facilities. Gate Access systems facilitate an economic way of taking bookings and payments, without the need for on-site staff. A Gate Access System can even control your floodlights, removing the need for players to buy tokens or use meters.
