Boughton Park LTC has been recognised as an outstanding tennis venue for young people by adopting and delivering the LTA Youth Programme to the highest standard.
LTA Youth Recognised Venues have demonstrated that they are committed to delivering an excellent junior programme that offers high quality coaching and regular competitive opportunities for young players.
Boughton Park Lawn Tennis Club, based in the beautiful grounds of Worcester Golf and Country Club in St.Johns, Worcester, is the first club in Hereford and Worcester to receive this award and is only one of six in the Midlands. Only 20 clubs have received national recognition.
Head Coaches, Tina Manning and Sarah McCormick together with Chair and Safeguarding Officer Jean Walters and Jo Ringshall, have worked tirelessly with the LTA over the last 6 months to reach the highest standards of quality both on and off court.

They strive to continuously improve the experience for their players and parents through the LTA Youth programme, which is designed to help more young people enjoy the benefits of playing and staying in tennis.
Scott Lloyd, Chief Executive Officer at the LTA said,“Your LTA Youth programme is a credit to both the LTA and tennis in Britain and you should be proud of achieving this status”.

This team is truly inspirational. They make tennis fun, social and engaging, and really do inspire more people to get on court.”
The team at Boughton Park Tennis Club are delighted to receive this award and hope, with the support from local schools, that their new status will encourage more children to try tennis!
