WORK WITH US
Whether you run a venue, coach for a living or want to start, there is a way to work with We Do Tennis.
We grow the tennis at your venue. For free.
Busier courts, clear programmes and a stronger local tennis community. We are a not-for-profit Community Interest Company, so we are funded through the coaching we run and only do well when your courts get busier. No fee to the club.
What we take on
- Programmes — a simple coaching programme, with pathways from first lesson to regular player
- Coaches — we recruit, mentor and support them
- Promotion — open days, school tasters, newsletters and social media
- Club running — online bookings, membership and LTA registration

Choose how much of the business you want to own
Not every coach wants the same thing. Some want to coach and leave the rest to us. Others want to run their own business with our systems behind them.
There is more than one way to work with us. Some coaches just want to coach: we handle the venues, bookings, payments and admin, and you turn up and deliver. Others want to take on more, helping grow the programme or leading a local coaching business with our systems and support behind them. And if you are already running your own coaching business, you can use our platform, products and brand to do it your way. Tell us where you are and what you want to build, and we will talk through the options that fit.
Every level includes our booking and payment systems, CRM with automated sales follow-ups, safeguarding framework and coaching products. You can work across several venues at any level.
Start your coaching career

While we support all trainees to succeed, completion of the programme is not guaranteed.
