LTA Court Craft Inclusion Coach Grant Funding 2026

There has been a lot of work identifying and taking positive action to support coaches from under-represented groups, including female, ethnically diverse and disabled. Court Craft (in partnership with the LTA) will continue to help support those in under represented groups who may be interested in tennis and padel coaching.

Please complete this application form if you qualify within the above groups and would like to receive a coach grant (up to 50% of the core costs).  If you are seeking coach mentoring support rather than a grant, please contact info@court-craft.co.uk to discuss opportunities.

The LTA Court Craft funding will prioritise funding support towards people booking on LTA Instructor (Level 2) / Padel Instructor (Level 2) courses. A smaller amount may be allocated to LTA Assistant projects, or bespoke requests (depending on local need and available funding).

Once reviewed by Court Craft, successful candidates will be contacted and asked to complete a grant agreement document, which can be found here.  Further information will also be shared about how the grant will be reimbursed on completion of core work linked to the relevant course.

The funding will be allocated on a first come, first served basis, along with learners meeting the grant policy requirements.

If you would like to discuss, or receive the information and application in a different format, please contact info@court-craft.co.uk

Don’t forget the Cheshire Tennis Support Scheme also contributes 50% to the core course cost, application form is here.
