Each year, the LTA Tennis Awards highlight the incredible achievements and contributions of people across Britain.

Launched in 2015 with the help of former LTA president Cathie Sabin OBE, the awards recognise the many thousands of inspirational individuals involved in tennis, dedicating their precious time and energy. They also highlight the incredible achievements of schools, clubs and more than LTA approved tournaments. The contribution of these individuals and venues helps to bring fans and players closer to the game we all love.

Winners are judged from over 2,000 public nominations and are first judged by 38 County Associations, resulting in 380 County award winners who are then put forward for Regional awards. Finally, the Regional winners are put forward for the National LTA Tennis Awards alongside winners from Tennis Wales and Tennis Scotland.

Norfolk Tennis is grateful to every volunteer, venue, coach and committee for helping to make tennis accessible to all across the county. Over the years, a number of people within the Norfolk Tennis family have received regional and national recognition in the annual LTA Awards for their oustanding contributions.
