Junior tennis leaders
The Tennis Leaders award was introduced two years ago for 14 to 17 year olds as a way of introducing them to coaching. The course lasts 10 weeks and involves both practical and theoretical skills. Hartford trains a group of Junior Tennis Leaders. All Junior Tennis Leaders assist the main Coaches during Kid's Saturday morning sessions and during the Tennis Summer Camps.
The qualified Junior Leaders are able to assist any LTA licensed coach at any club around the country.
We currently have 22 qualified leaders.
