  • Councillors Report 2 Jan 21
    BUSINESS UPDATE To LTA Councillors From Scott Lloyd Purpose of paper To provide a business update Date 2 December 2020 Confidentiality Can be shared with County / Association Committee Participation (OS) The upward trend in once-a-year participation has continued through the autumn months; the end of October reporting that nearly 4m people across GB have played tennis at least once in the last year – this is versus an original target of 3.6m and a revised target for 2020 of 3.8m. The growth in once a month participation flattened in October and given lockdown in November we will now not hit our target of 1.4m. The target for once a week kid’s participation will report in December as part of Sport England’s Active Lives Kids Survey (Appendix 1 – Business Dashboard). The team have done a good job in continuing to drive adoption of Rally and Gate Access systems as part of the cross business approach to the accessibility strategy. There is a further opportunity to drive adoption of Rally with the planned ‘Weather the Court’ winter player retention campaign, which will go live once tennis can be played post lockdown. Furthermore, good progress has been made against a number of key strategic deliverables including; venue adoption of gate access systems, the new competition management system, the integration of and growth plan for Local Tennis Leagues, the new venue registration proposition, further development of the club support toolkit which is at the forefront of the autumn forums, as well as the re-launch of our important SERVES and Open Court programmes.

Although this type of decision can be disappointing for athletes, there are a number of factors that will affect the standard of team that may be sent to particular events and all of these will be taken into account. These may include the age of an athlete, the wishes of race promoters, the demands of the event (distance, conditions and course profile) and funding. The selected teams for the events in the programme will be funded by scottishathletics Road Running and Cross Country budget. For this programme to be successful and to ensure progress towards our aim of fielding Scottish athletes in GB Teams, our top endurance athletes and their coaches are encouraged to participate in this programme and plan their season accordingly. Please keep Mark Pollard ([email protected]) and / or members of the selection committee fully informed of athletes’ racing programmes, results, training progress, injuries, illness and availability for selection for those races on the programme.

  • Grass Roots: the Development of Tennis in Britain, 1918-1978
    Grass Roots: the Development of Tennis in Britain, 1918-1978 Abstract Most research on British tennis has focused on social exclusion at the tennis club, on its middle-class image, and on the ‘shamateurism’ of the pre-1968 era. This paper will chart the development of the sport at grass roots level. It will demonstrate that tennis in the workplace and public parks allowed lower-income families to play and that significant numbers did so in less formal settings than those overseen by regional Lawn Tennis Associations. It will suggest that a concentration on the wealthy south-east of England has distorted our impression of the sport itself and the ‘average’ club. Evidence from club histories, official handbooks, company archives and detailed local studies presents a very different picture from that of the suburban ‘garden party’. Introduction ‘Lawn tennis can be played and enjoyed by boys and girls, men and women, of all degrees of excellence and of all ages’. (It) ‘flourishes in the clubs, the schools and the public parks and … can be played and enjoyed almost literally from the cradle to the grave. It is a recreational amusement played not too seriously but with just sufficient competitive interest to make it attractive. The great beauty of the game of lawn tennis is that, like cricket, it’s a game for everyone’. i This was the opinion of J.C. Smyth, tennis correspondent of the Sunday Times from 1946 to 1951. Perhaps these sentiments help to explain why it has received limited and patchy coverage from an academic community that has focused much of its attention on professional, competitive and elite aspects of sport.
