We Do Tennis is excited to be one of the few organisations selected by the LTA to participate in the traineeship scheme. This initiative is part of the LTA's effort to enhance tennis coaching opportunities across the country.

As a key partner, We Do Tennis is committed to delivering a high-quality training programme that aligns with the LTA's vision, offering aspiring coaches a unique pathway to develop their careers.

Please note: This programme is not a statutory-regulated apprenticeship.

Who Can Apply?

Applications are encouraged from all aspiring coaches who meet the following criteria:

  • 18 years of age or older on the first day of the programme (16 & 17-year-old candidates, please get in touch to discuss apprenticeship options)
  • Currently holding an LTA Assistant (Level 1), with a minimum merit or distinction grade (Those without can contact us for support)
  • Have successfully completed the LTA Instructor Readiness test (or be WTN 1-30)
  • Able to commit to an 18-24 month intensive development programme
  • Be LTA Accredited at the start of the scheme – we can help you with this

Note: In return for the investment in qualifications, trainees will be expected to support activities such as Open Days, Big Tennis Weekends, and Team Tennis events.

My children are absolutely loving the lessons now at Montgomery Tennis Club. They attended in the past but didn’t like tennis. Your approach and the way they are actually playing matches now is amazing to watch! Thank you so much.

The class was great – my daughter loved it and cannot wait to get back next weekend. The coach was brilliant as well. Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated.
