October 15, 2023
Nominations for the 2024 LTA Awards open on 1st October and close on 30th November, 2023
The annual LTA Tennis Awards highlight the incredible achievements and contributions of people in tennis across Britain.
Launched in 2015 with the help of former LTA President Cathie Sabin OBE, the awards recognise the many thousands of inspirational individuals involved in tennis who dedicate their precious time and energy; 25,000 volunteers, 6,000 coaches and c. 1000 officials. They also highlight the incredible achievements of some 22,000 schools, 13,000 LTA registered venues and over 9,000 LTA-approved tournaments. The contribution of these individuals and venues helps to bring fans and players closer to the game we all love.
It's time to get thinking on who you will nominate for the 2024 LTA Tennis Awards.
