The LTA is launching free virtual coaching sessions for families throughout February and over school Half Terms (England and Wales 15-19, Scotland 8-12) via the LTA’s Facebook page,. While it’s not possible to get on court due to lockdown guidelines, the sessions will take place every Saturday morning at 10am and will be hosted by LTA coach of the year, Matt Smith.

Matt will take families through a 45-minute lesson with extra time for one-to-one tuition at the end of each session. The training is free, easily accessible, suitable for all levels and can be enjoyed safely in any available space at home. It doesn’t matter if participants don’t have any tennis equipment – just pick up a frying pan, a pair of socks and anyone can get involved.
