Yorkshire Tennis Limited is responsible for developing, promoting and supporting tennis and padel in the county of Yorkshire. Yorkshire Tennis Limited replaced the Yorkshire Lawn Tennis Association due to a change in governance under the LTA who we work closely with. Under this new governance, Yorkshire Tennis Limited is managed by a board of directors and the directors are the members of the limited company. LTA Registered Clubs based in Yorkshire are now eligible to become Associate Members of Yorkshire Tennis Limited for free.

Benefits of being an Associate Member
There are many benefits of this free 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.

       – Coaches receive discounted offers on Dunlop goods.
       – County performance and County competitions including eligibility to compete in County Training, County Teams the Dunlop Yorkshire Doubles League.
       – Club forums and webinars to share ideas and practices so that Clubs can achieve your potential
       – Help and advice with LTA registration for your Club.

       – 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
