Each body paying £500,000 per annum to be allocated as grant and to Local Authorities who wish to develop indoor facilities under the ITI. To date, the ITI programme has opened 38 centres across Great Britain. Facilities range from temporary airhalls operating for six months of the year to extensive multi-sport facilities covering major conurbations such as Birmingham, Glasgow, Liverpool and London. The ITI has achieved a good geographical spread of facilities encouraging tennis development in England, Scotland and Wales. RATINGS By the end of 1995 it is expected that the ITI programme will have created over 200 indoor pay + play courts. Each centre runs a comprehensive tennis development programme. For more details contact the Facilities or Development Departments of the LTA. 3) Ratings ANYONE, even a beginner can apply for a Rating.
