Local Advisory Group
What is a LAG?
It’s an opportunity to attend a forum to have your voice heard about local issues affecting all aspects of tennis and contribute to finding solutions. The key objectives of the Local Advisory Groups (LAGs) are to provide a forum for all coaches to:
- Discuss coaching issues and challenges
- Make recommendations on possible solutions to consider regarding current challenges faced by coaches and the coaching industry.
- Focus on coal face coach and coaching issues
- Report on any other coach/coaching issues affecting coaching
Who are the LAG representatives?
Each state/territory will have a core group of representatives from metro and regional areas who will act as the voice for the full group/forum. From this group a chairperson will be appointed who will represent their state/territory on the National Coaching Advisory Group (NCAG). If an issue or challenge arises in your area, you can call on one of the LAG representatives to discuss.
