🎾 Why does Warwickshire Tennis care so much about opening up tennis and padel?

Because when more people feel welcome, everyone benefits.

Creating opportunities for people of all backgrounds, abilities and experiences doesn't just grow our sport – it changes lives. From building confidence and friendships to improving wellbeing and creating a genuine sense of belonging, inclusive tennis can have a powerful impact on individuals, families and communities.

Hear from Ian Lang, parent and disability tennis advocate, as he explains why creating opportunities for everyone to play matters so much.

🎾 Helping Shape the Future of Coach Education

Warwickshire Tennis is proud to celebrate the contribution of James Lang from Sutton Coldfield Tennis Club, who has worked with the LTA to create content for its Level 3 Tennis Coaching qualification.

Drawing on his lived experience as a tennis player with a learning disability, James collaborated with the LTA to develop an interactive learning resource for the "Coach the Person, Not the Disability" module. The content will help coaches across the country better understand how to support and develop players with learning disabilities.

As part of the LTA's Tennis Opened Up initiative, this new resource brings real-life experiences into coach education, helping make tennis more inclusive and accessible for everyone.

We're incredibly proud of James and the positive impact his work will have on coaches and players nationwide.

👏 Congratulations, James!
