Association of British Tennis Officials

Welcome to ABTO - the Association of British Tennis Officials. We are a membership organisation made up of a diverse community of individuals brought together by a shared passion for tennis.

Officiating can be a very enjoyable and rewarding experience and offers many opportunities. Officials play an important role in supporting tournaments across the country, from grassroots to professional events, and are essential in helping to make tennis an enjoyable and accessible sport.
