How does our Schools Programme work? Schools sign a partnership agreement with Liverpool Tennis Foundation.
Each school is linked to a partner tennis club – schools undertake to display information about the club and also print off and distribute flyers to children. Partner schools will recieve an invitation to send a group to the Kids Day at the Liverpool International Tournament
