In anticipation of the Brodick tennis courts being completed soon, a group of twelve Arran residents have busy undertaking their Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) Assistant Training course.
This enhanced two day qualification is suitable for teachers, tennis parents, enthusiasts and keen players looking for the knowledge and skills required to support group tennis sessions for children.
As well as the two full days of face to face training, which were held at the High School in Lamlash, there is also an online element to the course with a number of online learning modules which must be passed. In addition, four hours of work experience has to be completed.
This is the first time this course has been offered on Arran. It was organised by Maggie Carson who has been the driving force behind identifying funding for the resurfacing of the tennis courts in Brodick. Maggie says “We are extremely grateful to Anna Myatt from Tennis Scotland who kindly came over to Arran to deliver the course for us. Anna is one of the most highly qualified coaches in Scotland and we are very lucky indeed to have her support.”
