Diploma in Sporting Excellence (DiSE)

Following a detailed review we have decided not to deliver the DiSE programme within tennis at this time to enable the LTA to focus on the new performance pathway along with coach education and development.

We will reconsider our position on the DiSE programme in 2020/21.
