We've also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

Areas of non-compliance

The ClubSpark platform allows its users to create websites and content. The majority of websites on the clubspark.lta.org.uk domain are controlled by Tennis Clubs, Coaches and Local Authorities. As a result there may be some sites where the uploaded content doesn't meet the required WCAG 2.1 AA standard. Examples include:

  • Some elements may not have enough colour contrast with the background colour
  • Some images may not have appropriate alt attribute
  • Some pages may not have the correct document hierarchy

Feedback and contact information

If you need information on a Club, Coach or Local Authority website created using ClubSpark you should contact the Club, Coach or Local Authority directly.

If you need information on the ClubSpark platform in general please contact support@clubspark.com.
