The Lawn Tennis Association is an organisation bound together
by a lifelong passion for the game.
As
the governing body of British tennis we are united in our
commitment to growing the sport throughout the country at
all levels; from the grass roots of the game, to success on
the international stage.
Since 1920 the LTA has worked in partnership with the AELTC
to stage The Championships, Wimbledon. All profits from which
are invested back into the game to help achieve British tennis’
goal of more players, better players
We work with clubs, schools and local authorities to make
tennis accessible, affordable and attractive to everyone,
regardless of age or background. We judge ourselves not only
by the number of people enjoying tennis in Britain, but also
by the standard at which they play.

Attracting
Juniors To The Game - For the growth of the game,
the LTA is working hard to attract kids into tennis from a
young age and give them a game that is relevant to them.
Mini
Tennis does exactly that. Aimed at 4-11 year olds,
kids learn to play with shorter rackets and lighter balls
as they progress through a series of colour coded stages.

teams, who ensure potential talent is spotted at a young age
