Parents of Junior Players New to Competition 

 

The LTA have created a guide to help support parents and players who are new to competing. It's particularly useful if you do not have a tennis background yourself and want to get a better idea of how to enter your child into competitions, what the competition structure is all about and what to expect at the tournaments.

Also a quick explainer on how to do it  once you’ve got your LTA advantage membership.

LTA Grade 6 Competitions

If you're then keen to get your player started in tournaments, have a look out for Grade 6  'Matchplay' events. These are events which are aimed at players just starting their competition journey, and are generally a more relaxed environment ideal for those who might not be as experienced with playing matches.  

You can search for junior Grade 6 LTA competitions here.

What can you do to support your child playing tennis?  

Parents play a key role in sport and kids need their support and encouragement.  The LTA  work closely with sports psychology experts from Loughborough University and the University of Roehampton to offer help – what we call the Parent Support Programme. 

The Parent Support Programme is made up of three parts:

LTA Youth Compete

Whatever time of year it is there are junior tennis competitions taking place across the UK for children of all ages and abilities.

The LTA has three main focuses for helping you make the most out of competing in junior tennis:

  1. Team Challenge - a great way to introduce kids to tennis competitions at their local clubs; fun, friendly, and no serious scoring with the benefits of team socialising 
  2. Matchplay - perfect for your first individual competition, or getting some extra match practice in
  3. Local Tour - the quick-scoring junior tennis tournament

Whatever your level, we’re here to help you start competing in junior tennis tournaments at your own pace.

Fair play

Fair Play is an essential value in our sport – whether you’re a player, coach or parent.  We want to make sure that tennis is played in a fair, open and inclusive nature at all levels, so everyone feels welcome on court.

Fair Play involves:

  • Good sportsmanship, honesty and respect whether you win or lose
  • Learning to challenge yourself and improve social skills
  • Taking responsibility for your actions, calling scores and lines clearly and fairly even if it costs you the point
  • Learning and following the rules and being a role model to younger people 
  • Enjoyment of the sport
