Have you have completed your LTA Basic Referee training and now want to become an ABTO Accredited Referee?
To qualify for this course you will need to have gained a minimum of four days experience assisting an Accredited Referee; have a free Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) and Enhanced Disclosure certificate and have joined the Association of British Tennis Officials (ABTO) as a Trainee Referee (joining fee of £20).
Leicestershire will be hosting an LTA Full Referee Course on Saturday 31 March 2012 at the Dan Maskell Tennis Centre at Loughborough University. The course will run from 9.30am to 5.00pm.
This is a free one day course which builds upon what was learnt in the Introductory Seminar by offering further training on:
- Refereeing techniques

The course contains a multiple choice exam and, on passing the course, you’ll be able to referee LTA sanctioned tournaments.
Details on the course requirements are contained in the application form.
