Inclusion Tennis Showcase and Coaching Forum 2026

In support of No Limits 2026 – Hertfordshire’s Year of Disability Sport & Physical Activity, Herts Tennis and Middlesex LTA are excited to announce a joint venture in offering a Coach and Club showcase & coaching forum on delivering Disability Tennis Programmes.

They would love to invite you to come along, be part of the day to see and experience all the different forms of inclusive tennis and show you how your county Open Court Team can support you as clubs and community coaches to integrate inclusive tennis to your offer. It will also be a great networking opportunity between clubs and key Inclusion/Disability partners within local counties and will include various guest players and coaches that will make the day practical, enjoyable and useful for all that attend.
