To ensure British tennis is open and accessible to all communities, issues of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion need to be considered and championed by coaches, players, volunteers and tennis venues.
This training looks at how to ensure your tennis venue is creating the right environment and how to manage and challenge difficult situations.
