Coaching
Become a Coach
Tennis or padel coaching is a fun, exciting and highly rewarding way for people of all ages and abilities to get more involved in the game – but where do you get started? We have a range of courses and qualifications available for anyone who is thinking of getting started in coaching, designed to help you work on your foundational skills and give you an insight into the role of a tennis or padel coach.
From these, you can go on to undertake further qualifications or training to specialise more in grassroots tennis, performance tennis or coaching a specific audience such as youth, adults or disability.
We have four different entry points into coaching - each targeted at different people:
LTA Youth Tennis Leaders (young people aged 11-18)
Pre-LTA Assistant (women)
LTA Assistant (Level 1)
LTA Padel Instructor

LTA Bursaries
Tennis Opened Up is a vision for tennis to be truly open to all, no matter their background. This will only be fully achieved when every person’s experience of tennis and padel, in every place it is played, makes them feel included. We want to make sure our qualifications are welcoming and accessible to all, so that anyone can take their first steps on our Coaching Qualifications Pathway. The bursary needs to be applied for before you have completed the course. To apply for a bursary please email warwickshirelta@gmail.com
If you are unsure if you may qualify for funding towards your qualification please speak to your local Coach Development Centre or LTA Tennis County.
