Peer Circles: Breaking Barriers to Grassroots Sport Growth
For leaders and practitioners working at the forefront of community sport and physical activity, focused on growing participation and access at a grass-roots level.
This Peer Circles session, hosted by Stuart Maidment, Parks Support Manager within the Tennis Development Team at the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA), creates space to openly discuss the most pressing challenges facing grass-roots sport today – and how they might be addressed.
Together, you’ll explore:
- The key barriers to increasing participation, including access, facilities, funding, and engagement
- Practical approaches to reaching underrepresented communities and sustaining long-term involvement
- The role of local partnerships, parks, and community infrastructure in enabling participation growth
Peer Circles are small, discussion-driven sessions designed to foster honest dialogue, shared learning, and practical insight.
