The Lawn Tennis Association is an organisation bound together by a lifelong passion for the game.
 As the governing body of British tennis we are united in our commitment to growing the sport throughout the country at all levels; from the grass roots of the game, to success on the international stage.
Since 1920 the LTA has worked in partnership with the AELTC to stage The Championships, Wimbledon. All profits from which are invested back into the game to help achieve British tennis’ goal of more players, better players
We work with clubs, schools and local authorities to make tennis accessible, affordable and attractive to everyone, regardless of age or background. We judge ourselves not only by the number of people enjoying tennis in Britain, but also by the standard at which they play.
