Hampshire & IOW Coach Network

The Hampshire and IOW Coach Network aims to support Accredited Coaches of all levels that live or work in the county.  It provides the opportunity for coaches to hear key LTA and county updates, discuss local topics and share best practice with other local coaches. There is a WhatsApp group for coaches to share ideas, post opportunities or just ask for support.

There is one Coach Network meeting per year, with guest speakers invited, providing coaches with the opportunity to attend some high-quality CPD and gain some points through the LTA’s Independent Learning.
