Community Tennis Programme
Ben Howarth Tennis Coaching and Brentwood Tennis Club are committed to getting as many people in the community playing tennis as possible.
"We think the club should reflect the community we are surrounded by and be a reflection of its members."
Our Community Tennis programme has 4 main goals
-
To promote health and well-being in the community
-
To make the tennis club as accessible as possible and help in opening the tennis club up to the wider community
-
To make everyone feel welcome at the club and on and off the court
-
To reflect the local community in it’s membership

Ability Tennis
The "ABILITY not DISABILITY" programme started in 2017 and in 2021 was awarded the LTA Yorkshire Disability Award
The programmes main aims are to
1. To focus on the ability of the participants and not the disability so they can reach their full potential.
2. To inspire people with disabilities to play tennis, whatever their ability or background.
3. To increase opportunities for Children and Adults with a disability to keep active and social while having fun challenging themselves while learning new skills.
4. To give Children and Adults with a disability the option to join Brentwood Tennis Club's all inclusive coaching and competition programmes if and when they feel comfortable to do so.
Ben works with Learning Disability Schools such as Heritage Park, Becton, Mossbrook and Rowan running tennis sessions in the Schools and hosting school visits to Brentwood Tennis Club for Learning disability tennis festivals.
Through the support of DS Active and their DS Active training programme we run an DS Family Tennis Group for children with Down’s syndrome and their families.
