‍

We are happy to announce the LTA has opened its application window for the 2025 YPWA programme that was successfully trialled across England, Scotland and Wales last year.

‍

 Application is open until 30^thNovember 2024.

YPWAs are young people aged 14-24 who play an important role in promoting safeguarding within their venues. The 12-month programme supports YPWAs to:

• Raise awareness of safeguarding and welfare issues amongst members and players
• Gathers feedback and become a voice for young people
• Provide an important link between venue committees and children and young people

‍

This is the first time in British sport a National Governing Body (NGB) is actively involving young people in a programme of this nature, directly integrating them in the safeguarding and welfare work within tennis venues and supporting them to be an important part of the process.
