LRTA Bursary Scheme
The LRTA Bursary Scheme
The LRTA Bursary scheme was put in place in order to encourage participation by and to develop the talents of young women players (aged 25 and under as a guide) who show both talent for and commitment to the game of real tennis. The scheme pays for 6 lessons for the recipient (both the professional's fees and the court costs) and provides a year's free membership of the LRTA to encourage the player to take part in LRTA tournaments. An LRTA member at the recipient's club is appointed as a mentor for the young player.
Potential Bursary recipients may be spotted at LRTA or club tournaments and are usually proposed by the club professional. However, they can be nominated by any LRTA member as long as agreement is given by the relevant Club professional that the nominee shows sufficient talent and commitment. If you wish to nominate a young player for an LRTA bursary, speak to your Club professional and/or your LRTA Club representative.
