“Tennis Leaders Programme” Sunday 20th March 2016
What is it?
Becoming a Tennis Leader will provide you with lots of skills, experience and knowledge that will help you when applying for courses, universities and even on your CV when you apply for your first job. It could even be your first step along the way to a career in sport & leisure.
Tennis Leaders is aimed at 13 years plus and the content is suitable for older juniors just starting out on the tennis career pathway through to adult volunteers looking to support their local coach, referee or club official. Upon completion of the core module and at least one of the additional modules you can call yourself a “Tennis Leader” and start to help out at your local club, school or Leisure Centre.
The “Halton Tennis Leaders Programme” provides practical and real work experience for anyone interested in sports coaching and childcare. Once signed up, you will receive a student workbook and upon completion you will receive Certificates and an “LTA Tennis Leaders T-Shirt”.
We run LTA Tennis Leaders courses throughout the year, the courses are delivered by our extremely popular “Everyball Tennis" Leadership Tutors, Neale Proud and Danny West, who between them have over 30 years experience of working with this age group and will ensure that the course meets all your needs and at the same time is exciting and fun.
The course is a combination of “Indoor, on-court” and “classroom” activities so please bring suitable sports clothing and a packed lunch. We really look forward to seeing you at Halton sometime soon, so don’t delay, get yourself signed up, as places are limited.
