Inclusive Tennis
It is a top priority for us to provide progressive solutions to ensure more people participate in tennis and padel and they are representative of all the communities in North and West London.
Tennis is for Everyone.
We support a network of Middlesex venues to provide an inclusive offer to attract and sustain a new range of players, coaches, volunteers and officials to our sport.
Mark Bullock is our Inclusion Tennis Co-ordinator and leads our Inclusion programme featuring our Inclusion Mentors (link to below) and our Inclusive County Championships (link to below). Mark supports the many projects across the county including Get Set 4 Tennis, The Queens Club Foundation, Mayfield LTC, Hadley Wood LTC and many more.
We work closely with the LTA who manage disability tennis pathways in Great Britain. They offer a series of competitions for different impairments for all levels from Beginner to International. Visit the LTA Website here to find out about different impairments, and the tennis competition pathways on offer.
Our Inclusion Mentors
Mark is supported by our 4 Inclusion Mentors: Linda Almond, Stuart Wilkinson, Jo Grant-Baisley and Jon Wildman.
Our Inclusion mentors can be available to provide advice, guidance about new or existing disability and inclusion programmes. This also includes guidance on social prescribing and how to link in with the NHS and Health centres to promote an inclusive offer e.g. walking tennis, wellbeing sessions and tennis for people living with dementia.
Middlesex-Surrey County Championships
We are proud of our partnership with Surrey tennis where we work to deliver joint disability events at our County Championships including Visually Impaired, Wheelchair, Learning Disability and Para-standing.
Our wheelchair and Visually Impaired competitions are hosted at the All-England Community Grounds alongside the Surrey County Championships. Middlesex host the Learning Disability and Para-standing events at Vicars Moor LTC.
