Coach Development Grant
Northamptonshire Tennis (NLTA) aims to have more people, playing more tennis, more often.
We recognise that Coaches are essential to the health of the game in the County, helping to grow tennis, making it relevant, accessible, welcoming, and enjoyable to all.
To help achieve this NLTA is currently able to offer grants to support coaches in progressing their careers.
This grant is applicable to all levels of coaching, including Level 1 – LTA Assistant.
The intention, funds permitting, is for NLTA to match fund 50% of an LTA course cost for any coaching qualification. For example, if a Level 2 course costs £450 then £225 funding is available.
The funding criteria, and process, is intended to be simple and achievable:
- Candidates need to be working in or supporting coaching programmes at Northants LTA Registered Clubs and Venues upon application. For Level 1’s, Advantage Registered to a Northants Venue
- Prior to the Course, please send application form to the County Workforce Development lead for approval justinchacksfield@yahoo.co.uk
- Following Course completion, and 6 months continuous involvement with a programme at a Northants LTA Registered Club or Venue, candidates will be eligible for 50% of the course cost
- At this point please submit your course Certificate, and an Invoice to the value of 50% course cost, to County Workforce Development lead for verification justinchacksfield@yahoo.co.uk and copied to County admin for payment processing admin@northantslta.co.uk

Before submitting any 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.
Application decisions will be made jointly by the County Workforce Lead and Chair of NLTA Participation Committee.
If you have any questions or require further details, please contact initially your Club/Venue Head Coach or Justin Chacksfield justinchacksfield@yahoo,co.uk
