Coaching Qualifications

Tennis Lancashire has two different funding opportunites for individuals wishing to start or progress on through their coaching qualifications.

Coaching Qualification Grants - applicants aged 17 & Under

Young people aged 17 & under can apply for funding through the Lancashire Tennis Junior Development Trust to help them complete ther Level 1 or Level 2 Coaching Qualifcations. Please find more information and the application form here

Please note applicants can only apply once for this fund i.e for their Level 1 or Level 2 Qualificaion and not for both.

Tennis Lancashire Coaching Qualification Funding

Tennis Lancashire recognise that the qualifications require a high degree of commitment from the coach and also appreciates the financial obligations in paying the fees at the start of the course and loss of earnings attending the modules. Tennis Lancashire would like to support its coaches to develop individually and thereby increase the quality of tennis coaching for players and clubs in Lancashire. Financial constraints mean that not all coaches who apply will be successful so applications will be based on how the coach intends to benefit the players, club and County as well as themselves.

This funding is available for Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3.
