Make no mistake, County Tennis needs your support in 2026! I’ll explain why…
In Q4 2025, the LTA decided to make the 2025 Adult Winter County Cup the last ever staging of the event - a decision made by the LTA and one of their sub-committees without a meaningful consultation - and in 2026 they will launch a review into county competitions - it is like to include Junior County Cups and Summer County Week.
The power of County Tennis to bring communities together, initiate life long friendships and play a major role in the game development of players should never be under estimated. So if you are passionate about County Tennis please take a listen to this podcast episode for my take on what has happened, what is likely to come next and how you can help!
And to kickstart showing your support for County Tennis, please join the Friends of County Cup and County Week Facebook group - together we are stronger.

Todd Larkham: Nick Kyrgios’s Ex-Coach Has AMAZING Guidance For Parents and Coaches
You might have heard of tennis coach Todd Larkham for a host of reasons.
It was Todd who spotted a young Nick Kyrgios and coached him through to the Pro Tour and beyond. It’s brilliant to hear about that journey on this episode. You may know Todd was some player reaching no.136 in the World and that he played at each and every Grand Slams. Or have you seen Todd is one of the Coaches who feature on the ace Coachlife website which brings hundreds of video lessons from the Junior Coaches of some of tennis’s greatest players? More on Coachlife below.
After listening to this episode, though, I believe you’ll know Todd for giving some of the BESTEST guidance EVER for parents and coaches of aspiring junior tennis players. That’s not a throw away line. I mean it. Todd speaks with experience and from the heart. Whether you are a parent or coach, I 110% believe Todd can help you. Let him just do that by listening now…
As I mentioned above, Todd is one of the coaches on the ace new Coachlife tennis coaching site. The site brings video lessons from the childhood coaches of Swiatek, Gauff, Fritz, Tiafoe and Jack Draper. The guidance dispensed is incredibly useful for parents and coaches. I really recommend you check it out and not just because there is a load more top guidance from Todd! Visit the Coachlife site here for your free 7 day trial: https://coachlife.com/?ref=TOL
A big thanks to Peter Clarke who set up the Coachlife website and helped put me in touch with Todd.
