Every year, the LTA run Coach Forums in counties that are themed on topics that changes according to feedback from the tennis coacing workforce. The most recent forum in Berkshire was on the 4th November at Reading University SportsPark.

Delivered by LTA tutors and the team at Courtside Coach Education (formerly Growing the Game), the 2025 Coach Forums were aimed at coaches with an interest in coaching doubles and helping players feel more confident when playing at the net. 

The off-court session this year focused on how head coaches and programme leaders can grow their own teams and address their local coach shortage. This ran as a peer-to-peer session where like-minded and experienced coaches shared ideas and learnt from each other as well as the LTA tutors.

It was a great oppotunity to connect with you all, we look forward to what the 2026 forum brings. Stay tuned for more information when available.
