Beckett Sport Junior Tennis Programme
For any tennis related enquires please email the Junior Tennis Coordinator Nic - n.j.tweedy@leedsbeckett.ac.uk
We aim to provide tennis sessions for children aged 4-16 that help them to develop fantastic foundations for their tennis journey in a fun, enthusiastic environment. We offer sessions for those new to tennis through to those who are keen to compete regularly.
Beckett Sport Juniors is based at the Beckett Sports centre at the Headingley Campus on newly refurbished indoor courts.
Our coach-child ratios of 1-4 means that your child receives quality instruction throughout the sessions. All tennis coaches are LTA qualified, possess a DBS (Disclosing and Barring Service) and are on the Beckett Junior Sport Coach mentoring programme. Both students and staff are fully invested in developing both the players and the student coaches to create the best possible experience for the players on our programme. Courses are programmed to follow school terms.

Beckett Sport Juniors at Leeds Beckett is committed to prioritising the wellbeing of all children and adults at risk, promoting safeguarding in our club at all times, including all coaching, programmes and events we run.
We have a number of safeguarding policies which strive to minimise risk, deliver a positive tennis experience for everyone and respond appropriately to all safeguarding concerns/disclosures.
All our coaches and coach volunteers over the age of 16 have current DBS checks in place and those who are Level 2 and 3 are accredited with the LTA which means they have undergone safeguarding and emergency first aid at work training.
How to raise a concern about a child or an adult at risk at the club
If a child or an adult at risk is in immediate danger or risk of harm, the police should be contacted by calling 999.
Where a child or an adult at risk is not in immediate danger, any concerns about their wellbeing should be made without delay to the Tennis Welfare Officer for Beckett Sport Junior Tennis at Leeds Beckett
The Tennis Section Welfare Officer will pass the details of the concern on to the LTA Safeguarding Team at the earliest opportunity and the relevant local authority and the police will be contacted, where appropriate.
If, however, the whistle-blower does not feel comfortable raising a concern with the Tennis Section Welfare Officer, they should contact the LTA Safeguarding Team directly, the Local Authority Designated Officer (LADO) or the NSPCC on 0808 800 5000.
We have a safeguarding noticeboard inside the tennis centre which has details of all our policies, procedures, contact details of our welfare officer.
