Tennis

Tennis is a sport played between two players (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). Each player uses a strung racquet to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over a net into the opponent's court.

Tennis enjoys millions of recreational players and is also a hugely popular worldwide spectator sport, especially the four Grand Slam tournaments (sometimes referred to as the "majors"): the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open.

There is a Level 1 Tennis Coach Course coming up in June/July at Esporta Wearside:

26th June 2010: Day 1
27th June 2010: Day 2
25th July 2010: Day 3

It is being delivered by UCoach, and if you are interested in applying for a place, please email UCoach on administration@ucoach.org.uk or call them on 07540 286964.

There is also a First Aid course coming up in the summer, held at Sunderland Tennis Centre on 11th July. This will be a 6 hour course, and will be worth 6 Coach License credits. It is a requirement for the LTA Coach Licensing Scheme, but can also be completed by club members who are interested in gaining the qualification to better equip themselves in case of emergency.

If you would like to book a place on this course or to get further information, please get in contact with the County office on 0191 522 5005 or durclev@LTA.org.uk.

Please find below the new Guide to Schools Tennis 2010. This annual publication provides an overview of all the resource and support British Tennis offers schools and demonstrates the contribution made to delivering the 5 hour offer.
