Introduction to Deaf Tennis, a 1 hour on online course, is aimed at coaches wanting to equip themselves with the tools and confidence to welcome deaf or hard of hearing players onto their tennis court.
By the end of this course, coaches will:
- Understand different levels of deafness and deaf tennis eligibility criteria
- Understand the history of Deaf tennis and how to get more players involved
- Gain an increase in confidence in communicating with deaf players effectively
This course has been created and co-authored by Cathy Fletcher (LTA National Deaf Tennis Coach), the LTA, and UK Deaf Sport. Cathy Fletcher brings a vast amount of experience and expertise in this area, and an empathy as a result of being profoundly deaf herself.
