About Seniors Tennis GB
Seniors Tennis GB is a member organisation of the LTA dedicated to advancing the interests of the game of tennis for players of all standards aged 30 years and over.
Founded in 1974, we are a voluntary organisation delegated and part-funded as a member of the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA), to create, manage and develop competitions and teams and also to promote and increase tennis participation for senior players.
Mission: To develop and promote individual and team tennis for players of all standards from 30 years of age to over 90.
Vision: To increase participation in regular recreational and competitive, well-delivered tennis events across all venues, from beginner to international level.
Aims: To encourage sociable, enjoyably challenging and good value tennis activity with its proven benefits for health and well-being.
Applications are now welcomed for the 2024 Seniors Tennis GB Participation grant scheme
Grants of up to £400 are available to help run:
- a recreational competition for seniors aged 30+ using the new ITF World Tennis Number, or
- a ‘let’s start tennis’ scheme aimed at encouraging new players to start playing tennis.
The £400 can be used towards trophies, organiser time, marketing etc. Reasonable entry fees can be charged to generate some money.
Applicants must:
- Submit results using LTA Competition Software such as Results Manager so that the resulting World Tennis Number is updated.
- Submit a report describing the activity, numbers, what worked and what improvements could be made.
- Schemes must be sustainable – for example showing this is the first of what you hope to be a number of events and communications.
Please note: priority will be given to first time applicants and all marketing and communications material must use the STGB and LTA logos.
Application deadline is Sunday 19th May 2024.
Any questions? Contact Anne Clark. Full details of the grant can be found here.
