Toptenn has an additional internal incident reporting process to ensure any issues that occur during lessons can be communicated effectively & immediately with parents. All staff are trained in how to use this process and are encouraged to report any incident that occurs during lessons no matter how big or small the incident may seem.

All Toptenn lesson plans that coaches use for weekly lessons contain safety considerations for each specific lesson plan.

All Toptenn coaches are covered by insurance for any major incidents that may occur during their tennis lessons.
