Tennis Courses

In September 2020 Carnegie Coach Education at Leeds Beckett University became an approved Coach Development Centre for the Lawn Tennis Association. CCE will be one of only 12 centres across the country who are permitted to deliver LTA accredited courses.

Coach Development Centres (CDCs) will be delivering coaching qualifications and continued professional development (CPD) to coaches in a learning orientated environment.

The network of CDCs across England sit at the heart of a new delivery model for tennis coach education that will be in place from 2021. The new model will enable greater quality control, deliver consistency in coach education and make best use of expertise in local environments across the country.

Each CDC has exclusive responsibility to service a cluster of counties in England. CCE will be responsible for servicing Durham & Cleveland, Northumberland and Yorkshire in delivering LTA Qualifications and LTA CPD.

Each CDC will operate a ‘Hub & Satellite’ structure of venues across their area of responsibility, providing dedicated support to service the needs of the local workforce, and enable closer links to deployment opportunities at a regional level. Our hub site will be the indoor tennis courts at Headingley Campus with further satellite venues across the counties.

The new delivery model for coach education forms part of the LTA’s Coach Development and Support strategy, which aims to engage coaches with world class development and support opportunities, so they can achieve their potential as a coach, and deliver enjoyable on-court experiences for all. It supports the LTA’s vision to open tennis up to many more people, and it’s work to make tennis relevant, accessible, welcoming and enjoyable to anyone.

The new delivery model of courses will being launched in due course, see LTA website for updates.
