Tennis Leaders Course

WHAT IS A TENNIS LEADER?

Becoming an LTA tennis leader is a junior’s first step onto the tennis coaching pathway.  It’s also a course that once completed can be added to your C.V! The course is modular based with a core module and three additional modules:

CORE MODULE

Introduction to tennis (Module 1)

  • Knowing the basics of tennis; strokes, game formats and variations of the sport.
  • Understanding how these variations of the game are used to introduce tennis to people of all ages and abilities.
  • Learning about effective communication and organisation skills.
  • Putting your skills into practice on court – in warm up activities and on court drills

ADDITIONAL MODULES

  • Volunteering at your tennis venue (Module 2)
  • Leading a practice session (Module 3)
  • Helping at a competition (Module 4)

Those that attend the course are required to complete six hours of voluntary work at their local tennis club.  Once the course is completed juniors will receive a certificate from the LTA along with a free t-shirt.

The course content is also suitable for adult volunteers looking to support their local coach.  

Details of our 2025 Leader's court will be published later in the year.
