Dear School,

NEW LTA Youth Schools Tennis Programme

Please find attached details of FREE teacher training opportunities from the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) in relation to LTA Youth Schools, their new schools tennis programme. This offer is fully inclusive and we encourage all SEND schools across the Devon network to become involved. LTA Youth integrates with our Open Court Programme which aims to bring together key partners to actively promote and deliver more opportunities for disabled people to get involved in tennis, providing suitable exit routes and sustainable participation for all ages.

In addition to the attached flier I have highlighted some key points surrounding LTA Youth below:

• LTA Youth has been designed by teachers, for teachers and is mapped to the National Curriculum
• It brings together free PE lesson plans, personal development resources, teacher training, and much more
• The programme is fully inclusive and can be used in both mainstream and SEN schools
• Each school that takes part and completes the online training will receive a £250 voucher (one per school) and a free activity pack
• The £250 voucher can be redeemed against 10 hours of curriculum delivery with a local LTA Accredited & LTA Youth trained coach with links to a local tennis club
• The online training takes between 1-1.5hrs with the option to save progress and complete in stages
• The LTA are an afPE Professional Development Board Approved Provider, recognising the high standard of both the resources and the teacher training they offer
• To find out more please visit the LTA Youth Schools pages here
• Our secondary offer is due to be launched in September and will follow a similar format
• This is a great opportunity for schools and it is all FREE!

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me directly, either via phone or email.

Thanks,

Kim Eschbaecher Participation Development Partner
