6 A YEAR OF SUCCESS

NATIONAL PARTICIPATION PROGRAMMES Tennis Hot Shots, Cardio Tennis and Tennis Xpress have been a real success story over the last four years. Since its introduction in 2013, Tennis Hot Shots is delivered in over 200 venues across the country with 80 head coaches using the programme resources to help deliver their junior coaching programmes. Looking forward we aim to further develop Tennis Hot Shots by working closely with Regions and Associations to introduce the programme philosophies into competition structures. The Cardio Tennis and Tennis Xpress programmes represent a great opportunity for coaches to broaden their offering to appeal to a greater range of participants.

None of the planned initiatives contained in the Competition and Profile of Tennis focus areas of the 2014- 2017 Participation Strategy were carried out. This was due to a combination of increased time and resource invested into the national participation programmes and tennis connect project , and changes in the tennis environment over the four year strategic cycle.
