FREE COMPETITION PARENTING WORKSHOPS
During this period of lockdown why not take advantage of this fabulous and FREE offer from the LTA?
‘We appreciate that tennis is probably very low down on the priority list for most people at the moment, and as an organisation our primary aim is to support those people affected by the Coronavirus pandemic. However, as we know that people are currently at home, and maybe with more time to spare than usual, we have decided to offer two online Competition Parenting Workshops.
The workshops will be delivered by Prof Chris Harwood and Dr Sam Thrower, so it is a great opportunity for people to hear the content direct from the two experts that wrote it! We will also be offering the workshops for free (waiving the usual cost)’.
The workshops will run on the following dates:
Tuesday 28th April 7:30-9:30pm
Wednesday 13th May 7:30-9:30pm

Intro to Level 1 Course for females – Wednesday 2nd December – Free Webinar from She Rallies & The LTA
The vision of ‘She Rallies’ is to attract and retain more women and girls in tennis in the UK by inspiring and empowering a female workforce to create more opportunities for women and girls.
Judy Murray She Rallies Founder:
“There is still a significant gender gap in terms of players and coaches at all levels of the game. By rallying together, we can create opportunities in tennis from the grassroots up. Whether you’re an existing tennis coach, teacher, parent, student, youth worker, brownie leader or an enthusiastic club member, the She Rallies courses will give you the skills and ideas to deliver starter training and fun competition to girls and women in your community. If we rally together – pun intended – we will make a difference.”
On Wednesday 2nd December, 9.30 till 12.30 the LTA are hosting a FREE online Introduction to Level 1 webinar followed by a live Q&A with Judy Murray. The webinar is to encourage and inspire more women and girls on to the qualification pathway. At the end of the webinar you will have been shown the basic skills of a coach (communication, organisation and observation) and how these skills are developed on a Level 1 course. No previous tennis experience is required but a bubbly personality would be a bonus!
The ideal participants for the webinar would be:
- Club members / team players
- Mums / volunteers
- Female 16+
- Junior players aged 16+
