Developing Tennis Coaching in Europe

Our Erasmus+ funded project Best Practices in European Tennis Coaching aims to address the lack of educational opportunities relating to tennis coaching. We have chosen to focus on this project on tennis due to the sport's huge popularity across Europe, as well as our partners’ previous experience and engagement in training and activities related to this sport. In order to achieve this aim, we will develop and publish a tennis coaching qualification comprised of the best practices, styles and experiences from four European nations: the United Kingdom, France, Spain and Portugal.

The first stage of the project involves producing a report on tennis coaching in each of these countries, analysing their current global positions, coaching pathways, practices and techniques and areas of excellence. In addition to this report, which is now available on our platform, we have produced a guide for aspiring tennis coaches, which summarises key elements of the report in a useful format. You can access both of these publications on our Resources page.

Look out for our forthcoming tennis coaching qualification and our partners' experiences with running pilot courses in four different countries in the coming weeks!
