Alun Cairns MP met with LTA Chief Executive Simon Johnson to welcome the impressive upgrades to Barry tennis courts in Romilly Park.
The £130,000 investment has significantly upgraded the previously run down courts, providing a fantastic facility for tennis users locally.
Alun welcomed the upgrades stating, 'this investment into our sporting facilities from LTA is really positive. I am sure it will encourage many more budding players to pick up a racket and come down and play.
'More importantly alongside the upgrades, a new LTA booking system has been put in place, with very affordable prices, allowing you to book your court ahead of time. The LTA are also really committed to encouraging schools take up tennis and the LTA Youth programme is key to this mission'.
LTA Youth is designed specifically for schools and to support the curriculum, the programme brings together inclusive PE lesson plans, personal development resources, teacher training and much more. It’s all been designed by teachers, for teachers, and it’s all free. Take part and complete online training to receive a £250 reward voucher for your school.
