• May I take this opportunity to thank inspire2coach for the opportunity to do a course via distance learning. I work full time and my coaching is all volunteer work at the club. I try to attend courses when I can but sometimes find it difficult to take time off work. This opportunity has been of great help to me..

    Tennis 10's
    The rules of tennis have changed!  From 2012, a new ITF rule change will mean that no under 10 age group competition can take place using a standard yellow ball. Instead a slower red, orange or green ball must be used in 10 and under competition.
    inspire2coach has worked closely with the ITF and Tennis Europe on this hugely significant project.
