What we will provide to volunteers
🤝 Extra supportAbout lawn tennis association
We’re proud to have been the governing body of tennis in Great Britain since 1888, and our goal is for more people to play and enjoy tennis.
We’re here because we are passionate about our sport, and we want to spread that passion across the nation. Looking to the future, we have an important role to play in ensuring the popularity and longevity of the sport – and to achieve that, we’re putting in place exciting and ambitions plans to create more opportunities for everyone to engage with tennis.
Volunteers, coaches, officials and tennis venues all play an essential role in the future of our sport; without them, tennis can’t exist. We’re committed to supporting them and working with a whole range of other organisations and individuals connected to our sport, so that together we can grow tennis and open it up to many more people
