Coach Central, a brand of inspire2coach

LTA Youth Tennis Leaders is our exciting leadership programme for young people aged 11 to 18. The programme provides young people, whatever their tennis ability, with the opportunity to gain invaluable leadership skills both on and off court.

What is a tennis leader?

Tennis leaders support coaches, volunteers and teachers to deliver tennis sessions on court, and support the running of a venue or event. They are a role model to younger players, members and school children, and inspire others to play. Off-court, they help volunteers, teachers and club management committees to make sure tennis is relevant, accessible, rewarding and enjoyable.

The programme is an excellent way of helping young people into leadership opportunities across tennis, sport and beyond, whatever their interests.

Becoming a tennis leader

Tennis Leaders is suitable for juniors whatever their relationship with tennis – from those brand new to the sport through to those playing regularly.

If you are aged 11 to 18, speak to your sports co-ordinator, teacher or coach in your club or school to get involved. You will gain invaluable skills and experience that you can use throughout your life – whether in tennis or sport, or outside it.
