Dorset LTA, also known as Dorset Tennis, is an unincorporated county tennis association affiliated with the LTA, the National Governing Body for Tennis in Great Britain. We are currently evolving from an unincorporated voluntary association to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) run by volunteers following the EGM in June 2024 where unanimous mandate was received. We are hoping our transition to a CIO will be completed by early/mid 2025.
Dorset Tennis is managed by a volunteer-led Executive Committee, elected annually by its members. This Committee and it’s sub-committees, oversees the administration and growth of tennis across the county and manages all paid roles essential to supporting the Association’s mission.
Aligned with the LTA’s vision to ‘Open Up’ tennis; to grow tennis by ensuring it is relevant, accessible, welcoming and enjoyable, the Association works closely with the LTA to promote and deliver agreed strategies and carry out specific responsibilities at county level.
Dorset Tennis values diversity and inclusion and encourages people from all backgrounds and experiences to apply to join Dorset Tennis, to help broaden our perspectives in everything we do. We encourage our members to be advocates for equality in the role they hold and to embed equality, diversity and inclusion into all work and functions.
We are always looking for Volunteers to help us improve the County's tennis activities - there are lots of opportunities to help including with teams, performance, tournaments, participation and inclusivity. Please get in touch with us via info@dorsetlta.co.uk if you would like to get involved.
