In June 2025, we launched our ‘Learn to Lead’ programme, delivering a practical course for physical education and primary teachers covering a wide range of content on how to best deliver starter tennis in schools at any time of the year. We have also created ‘Tennis in 10’ – a fun starter programme aimed at parents, teachers, coaches and volunteers – which showcases ten simple, progressive ways to give children the best possible start in developing the skills required to play the game.
