Since 1920 the LTA has worked in partnership with the AELTC to stage The Championships.

For further details on positions with the governing body for tennis in Britain please visit LTA Online at www.LTA.org.uk

Security

Umpires
There are 330 umpires (chair umpires and line umpires) officiating at The Championships. Around 60 of these officials are from overseas, and the remaining 270 umpires are members of the Association of British Tennis Officials (ABTO).

If you would like to train to become an official, please contact LTA Officiating, National Tennis Centre, 100 Priory Lane, Roehampton, London SW15 5JQ or email: officiating@LTA.org.uk

Please note that LTA Officiating do not recruit umpires specifically for The Championships. Significant training and experience working at other events is essential before umpires can be considered to officiate at The Championships.

PLEASE NOTE: Many people apply to several organisations for tournament work, which is quite understandable. However, if you accept a job with one organisation but then decide to accept a position, for whatever reason, with another, it would be greatly appreciated by all concerned if you would let all relevant parties know of your plans. It causes a great deal of unnecessary extra work, especially close to the start of the event, for organisations who suddenly find they do not have the full complement of staff they thought they had recruited.
