Breaking barriers with Chris Marshall and Karen Koehane

Discover how coaches, venues and communities can work together to break down barriers to participation and create more opportunities for people to get involved in tennis.

This insightful webinar explores the challenges that can prevent people from engaging in tennis, particularly those from lower-income communities. Through practical examples and lived experiences, the session highlights the importance of understanding local barriers and finding creative solutions that help more people access and stay involved in the game.

Drawing on discussions from coaches and volunteers across the country, the webinar explores topics including affordability, transport, access to facilities, equipment provision and community engagement. It also considers how coaches can create welcoming environments that support long-term participation.

By watching this webinar, you'll learn:

• How to identify barriers that may prevent people from taking part in tennis.
• Why factors such as transport, equipment and time can be just as significant as cost.
• Practical ways to make tennis more accessible within your local community.
• How partnerships with schools, councils and community organisations can support participation growth.
• Ideas for creating sustainable programmes that engage and retain more players.

Whether you're working in a park, club, school or community setting, this webinar offers valuable insights and practical ideas to help make tennis more accessible and welcoming for all.
