Referee Development Grants
NLTA is currently able to offer grants to support referees in progressing their careers and help grow competitions in Northamptonshire, making it relevant, accessible, welcoming, and enjoyable to all.
The intention, funds permitting, is for NLTA to fund £50 of an LTA course cost to the referee qualification.
The funding criteria, and process, are intended to be simple and achievable:
- Candidates need to be working in or supporting competition programmes at Northants LTA Registered Clubs and Venues upon application.
- Prior to the Course, please send the application form to the Competition Development lead for approval; competition@northantslta.co.uk
- Following Course completion, 6 months of involvement with competitions at a Northants LTA Registered Club or Venue and/or support at Northants County Closed, candidates will be eligible for £50 of the course cost
- At this point please send the course Certificate, and Invoice to the value of £50, to be submitted to Competition Workforce Development lead for verification; competition@northantslta.co.uk and copied to County admin for payment processing admin@northantslta.co.uk
Application decisions will be made jointly by the Competition Workforce Lead and Chair of NLTA Participation Committee.
Before submitting this application form it is important to have a conversation with the Club Head Coach/Venue management to ensure they are able to support your application and ‘sponsor’ the work experience you will need to gain your qualification.
