DARREN TOOP AWARD

At 22 years old Darren Toop was the youngest coach to gain the LTA Performance Coach Award in September 1995. After his tragic death in May 1996, the LTA and the BTCA (now TENNISCOACHUK) set up the Darren Toop Young Coach of the Year Award in his memory, to be presented annually to a young tennis coach under 25 years of age who it is thought best personifies Darren’s spirit, commitment, enthusiasm and dedication to coaching.

 

Darren Toop was a dedicated, hard working coach, full of enthusiasm and desire, and born with a insatiable love of the game. He had that special ability to make his pupils feel they were the best because he was able to inspire them to reach their full potential.

 

The award is presented at the TENNISCOACHUK National Conference each November and the winner receives the following:

 

A silver and crystal trophy engraved with the names of the winners

An award certificate together with £100 cash prize

One year’s membership of TENNISCOACHUK
