Club Development including a Welcome Grant for confirming Free Associate Membership
Yorkshire Tennis Limited replaced the previous Yorkshire Lawn Tennis Association due
to changes in how tennis is governed in counties under the LTA. This means LTA Registered Clubs in
Yorkshire are eligible to become Associate Members of Yorkshire Tennis Limited as oppose to
previously automatically becoming part of YLTA. There are many benefits of this membership
including:
• Access to our network of experienced, knowledgeable and enthusiastic volunteers
• These volunteers can provide Clubs with advice, support, and guidance on a range of issues
such as :
◦ Safeguarding
◦ Club development
◦ Coach development
◦ County performance and County competition including eligibility to compete in
County Training, County Teams and the Yorkshire Doubles League.
• Help and advice with club LTA registration
• Club forums and webinars to share ideas and practices so that Clubs can achieve your
potential
• Attendance at our AGM with the opportunity to help shape Yorkshire Tennis and Padel
• Access to Interest-Free Loans of up to £25,000 and, subject to availability, small grants to aid
Club development and inclusion
• Access to information, advice and news on various aspects of tennis and padel in the
County’s communications channels, plus the opportunity to appear in them. These include
the Yorkshire Tennis’ website, social media channels, Annual Review and our newsletter,
Tramlines
• Opportunity to attend the new but planned-to-be annual Yorkshire Day at the Ilkley Trophy
tournament
• Possibility to purchase discounted tennis balls as part of the county ball scheme
• And, while some counties intend to charge for this, in Yorkshire we have decided all of this
will be for FREE
Additionally, as a welcome to LTA Registered Clubs in the County who opt to become Assocaite Members of Yorkshire tennis, we are offering a one off Advantage Grant of £150. All you need to do to apply for this grant is to complete the simple application form on our website HERE. Our Club Engagement team led by Chris French (email: cfrench@yorkshiretennis.org.uk) are ready to answer any questions you may have on this or other Club related matters.
