The winners of the 2013 British Tennis Awards were presented with their trophies at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals on Monday, 4th November.
These awards recognise volunteers who give so much of their time to tennis, working behind the scenes working as committee members, competitions organisers and volunteer coaches to name a few.
At the awards ceremony other LTA and Tennis Foundation awards were presented including player awards, education awards and the Aegon Coach of the Year award.
The awards were presented by LTA President, Peter Bretherton and Julie Preston, Senior Sponsorship Consultant from Aegon.
Tom Nicholas, Young Volunteer of the Year said, while watching Nadal on the practice court: “It’s been a great day. I came with my university last year and that doesn’t even compare to this today, it’s been tremendous!”
Stuart Maidment Aegon Coach of the Year said: "Its been a great day and so nice to be recognised for the work we've been doing. It's also fab to meet all the other winners, network and find out what everyone else has done to win their awards."
Jenny Box, Volunteer Engagement Manager said: “It’s so great to be able to recognise the hard work of all of these brilliant people in British Tennis in such a prestigious way. Having such a fantastic tennis event at the end of the year gives us a great opportunity to get everyone together for the ceremony. Its inspirational hearing what everyone has been up to and how much time they give up day to day to help support British Tennis and participation growth.”
