Advice for British tennis parents

If you are a parent of a young tennis player but find it hard to know if you're giving the right sort of support then help is at hand.

Judy Murray

Judy Murray and tennis coaches Daniel Thorp and Paul Dent have teamed up with the LTA to bring you britishtennisparents.com

The website has been designed specifically for parents of junior tennis players to help them make the best decisions for their children.

It offers advice on training, coaching, tournament programmes, overseas competition, match analysis, nutrition, fitness and much more.

Judy Murray, the mother of British number one Andy and British number 38 Jamie, says: "I wanted to create a site filled with first-hand experience and guidance from parents and coaches who have been through all of the stages of tennis player development themselves.

"The advice is for parents of children of all ages across all standards - from U10s to 18 year olds, beginners to those about to turn pro. It is exactly the kind of website I would have used regularly when Andy and Jamie were juniors."
