Industry Shorts: Lta, Goodwood, Grabyo
The LTA has launched a new event series designed to give wheelchair sportspeople who are inspired by the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics the chance to take part in wheelchair tennis taster sessions.
Organised by the LTA the sessions cater for every skill level, and form part of a nationwide series of taster days designed to attract, inspire and engage people with physical impairments into wheelchair tennis.
Delivered by coaches from the LTA, the sessions help equip participants with new qualities, skills, and attributes required for tennis. The governing body for tennis in Britain will then direct each participant towards opportunities to continue playing that are most appropriate for their skill level, either through the LTA Open Court programme, or centres delivering elite training as part of the LTA Wheelchair Performance Pathway.
