LTA Assistant (Level 1)

This enhanced two-day qualification is ideal for tennis parents, enthusiasts, or keen players looking for the knowledge and skills to support group coaching sessions, alongside a lead coach. 

During the LTA Assistant coaching course you will learn:

  • Communication, organisation and differentiation skills for group coaching 
  • Basic tactical, technical, physical and mental development frameworks 
  • Other key assistant skills, from safeguarding to LTA Youth delivery

As an LTA Assistant, you’ll be fully trained to assist a lead coach at any venue. 

The course is designed so that sessions run by a lead coach can be run with higher group numbers, or a session with the same group numbers can be run with higher quality. The course learning outcomes are delivered as beginner level and red focusing on red stage coaching. However, you’ll cover basic knowledge and skills that can be applied to any age and level of player. 

The qualification is made up of two separate elements - Training and Assessment. 

Training: two days of face-to-face training time, separated by a minimum of three weeks (to provide time for you to get four hours of work experience and time to complete your coursework). 

Assessment: the course doesn’t require a Final Assessment because you’ll be continually assessed throughout. 

On completion of the course, you’ll be trained as a Court Supervisor and you’ll also receive your Safeguarding Training which can be accepted as part of an LTA Coach Accreditation. Assistants will save on average £30 by completing these courses as part of the Assistant Qualification as opposed to taking them individually. 

Interested? Great! Our courses just have a few pre-requisites to ensure that they are right for you.

For the LTA Assistant, you’ll need to: 

  • Be 16 years old, on or before the first day of the course 
  • Have a signed ‘letter of deployment’ from the venue where you have your four hours of work experience organised. (This can be found in your LTA Learn portal)
