Where is the main LTA training facility located?
The Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) is the national governing body of tennis in Great Britain, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. The organization was founded in 1888 and seven-time Wimbledon champion William Renshaw was elected as its first president.
The purpose of LTA is to promote the sport “from grassroots participation through to the professional game”, based on the fundamental belief that tennis can provide “physical, social and mental rewards both on and off the court”. The main LTA training facility is the National Tennis Centre (NTC) in Roehampton, southwest London, which opened in 2007. The Duchess of Cambridge has been patron of LTA since 2017.
The National Tennis Centre
The National Tennis Centre (NTC) is located at Roehampton in southwest London, close to the All England Club in Wimbledon. Officially opened in 2007 by Queen Elizabeth II, the NTC is a focal point for Britain’s top tennis players, with 22 courts, player accommodation and a sports science centre.

Tennis courts
The NTC has twelve acrylic hard courts (six indoor, six outdoor), six clay courts, and four grass courts.
- Hard courts– The NTC’s acrylic courts have a GreenSet Grand Prix Acrylic surface. The indoor courts have a sprung timber sub-frame, while the outdoor courts are laid directly on asphalt. This GreenSet surface is used at many international tournaments including Davis Cup, Fed Cup, WTA Tour and ATP Tour events.
- Clay courts– The NTC has two different types of outdoor clay courts which have been designed to withstand the harsh UK climate and to allow for the longest possible clay court playing season and maximum use. There are four Italian clay courts (identical to the courts used at Foro Italico and Monte Carlo), and two French-Court synthetic clay courts.
- Grass courts– The LTA consulted All England Lawn Tennis Club head groundsman Eddie Seaward to advise on the installation of its four outdoor grass courts. The quality and playing characteristics replicate those found at the Wimbledon Championships.
