EQUITY, DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
Cheshire Tennis is aligned with the LTA Vision of Tennis Opened Up and the LTA Inclusion Strategy.
All staff and volunteer members are committed to help our clubs, venues, coaches and volunteers to be more open and inclusive within their own communities. We encourage our facilities to open their doors and welcome new members from all backgrounds and abilities to fully benefit from all that inclusion has to offer.
There are many forms of adaptive tennis that a venue or location could offer which may lead to increased community engagement as well as increasing the membership of the club. The following video links offer a great perspective for you to consider :
