Derbyshire LTA Tennis Awards
Celebrating excellence in British tennis and padel
The LTA Awards, presented by Lexus, shine a spotlight on the outstanding achievements and contributions of individuals and organisations across Great Britain.
First launched in 2015 by former LTA president Cathie Sabin OBE, these awards celebrate the passion, dedication, and hard work of some of the 25,000 volunteers who give their time to support and grow the sport across the country. From clubs and venues to coaches and officials to parks and players, the awards recognise those who are making a real difference in their communities.
