Staging the greatest tournament in the world involves a lot of planning. The Championships are run by a Committee consisting of the 12-member All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) Committee and 7 nominees from the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA).

Preparation for The Championships begins directly after the preceding meeting. Improvements are considered by the Committee and the decisions taken are implemented by seven full-time executives and their staff. Repairs to the courts and reseeding of the grass takes place during the Summer and early Autumn.

Below are some examples of how the LTA and the AELTC cooperate for the benefit of British Tennis:

Play Tennis Zone
The LTA has been involved in setting up and running an interactive area for younger tennis fans, known as a Play Tennis Zone. Over 5000 kids have taken advantage of the facility, with a host of celebrities each year. It is located behind Court 13, so please drop in if you're visiting Wimbledon.


Performance Journey
Launched by the All England Club in April 2001, we have arguably the biggest draw in British tennis to act as a spur to Britain's young tennis players, to encourage children and young people to participate in the sport, and to promote tennis in general. Please visit: www.LTA.org.uk


Wimbledon Surplus
Every penny of the funds generated by The Championships is ploughed back into developing tennis, in order to achieve our goal of more and better players.
