Berkshire Tennis

Berkshire Tennis (Berkshire  LTA) are the governing body for tennis in Berkshire.  We work in partnership with the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) to promote and develop the game of tennis in our area. 

Berkshire Tennis is run by a team of volunteers who make up the  Council and Management Committee and other sub-committees which provide support and advice to venues, coaches,  players, parents and teams in Berkshire.   We  also employ a small number of part-time staff.

Safe To Play

Nothing is more important to the LTA than the safety and wellbeing of those involved in our sport. This campaign is aimed at ensuring everyone in tennis is able to keep children and themselves safe from harm.  We want to encourage people not to be a bystander – if you have a concern about a child - SAY SOMETHING IF YOU SEE SOMETHING.

Understanding Qualification vs Accreditation - for moreinformtion click HERE

Coach Accreditation is the LTA’s professional membership scheme for coaches. Being Accredited ensures that a coach is qualified, insured and meets safe to practise standards, such as first aid and child protection training.

An Accredited+ Coach also commits to a minimum of 15 hours of professional development training each year.

Qualifications range from 1 to 5 and indicate the level of formally assessed training a coach has.   Level 1 and 2 are coaching assistants with Level 5 being the highest available qualification. All coaches displayed on this tool are committed to delivering tennis to people of all ages and from all backgrounds including disability, faith, gender identity, race, sex and sexual orientation.
