Fair Play

Fair Play in tennis has always been an important value and the LTA and Tennis Foundation are committed to ensuring that the tennis environment is fair, open and inclusive at every level in the sport.

These values apply equally to players, parents, coaches, officials and volunteers and cover all tennis activities, whether it is a competition, a friendly hit at a local court or a match you’re watching. Supporting the values are individual Fair Play pledges for each group of people in the sport.

Enjoy

• Tennis is your sport so enjoy it. Love the game.
• Be a good sport when you win, lose and watch matches.
• Be a role model, set a good example of the behaviour you expect from others.
• Let’s create a safe, fun and fair tennis environment.

Respect

• Tennis is a game for everyone.
  
• Respect other players, parents and officials.
  
• Take responsibility for your actions.
• Learn and follow the rules and the Fair Play values.
• Call the score and lines loudly and fairly.
