In 2019 the LTA will again be running a series of Regional tournaments for athletes with a visual impairment and learning disabilities. In Glasgow we will be organising a Visually Impaired Tournament on 27th & 28th July at Newlands Tennis Club and a Learning Disability Tournament on 14th & 15th September at Scotstoun Tennis Centre.
The regional series of tournaments provides the opportunity for many athletes to participate in local competition. Those that play will range from beginner to advanced level and many require support on court to ensure their competitive experience is a positive one.
Volunteers will be required on the days of the tournament as follows:
VI Tournament – from 11am to 6pm Saturday and 8.30am to 3pm Sunday
LD Tournament – from 8.30am to 5pm both days
Each volunteer will receive a free t-shirt and lunch and drinks each day.
Without the help of willing volunteers, many of the athletes would not be able to compete, so your support is vital for them. If you are able to volunteer your time at your local tournament, please complete the reply slip on the form below and return to the tournament organiser Lesley Whitehead by email lesley.whitehead@ymail.com or by post – Hillside, 121 Skelmorlie Castle Road, Skelmorlie, Ayrshire, PA17 5AL by Friday 21st June 2019.
