LTA Advantage membership
As a member of Winton Tennis Club you’re entitled to free membership of LTA Advantage (previously known as British Tennis Membership, or BTM).
Benefits of Advantage include..
- Keep track of your match results
- Obtain and track your world tennis number
- Play matches for your club
- Get exclusive discounts with the LTA’s partners
- Opt in for the LTA Advantage Wimbledon ballot
From the 2024 Winter season of the Dorset doubles league, in which Winton Tennis Club have 3 teams, it will be a requirement to have an LTA Advantage account which is linked to your tennis club in order to play in matches for the club.
Below is a guide on what you need to do to link your Advantage account to the club.
How to open an account
If you don’t already have an LTA Advantage account you can join using the link at the end of this section.
There are five types of Advantage membership available, but the one we recommend our members should sign up for is the Advantage Play+ option. It’s free to members of LTA affiliated clubs, and offers better benefits than the other free options (Advantage Fan and Advantage Play).
There are also two paid membership options that provide additional benefits if you want a little bit more.
Three junior memberships are also available, however as the Advantage Play+ option is available to everyone, and our club can only take members 14 years or older, we think the above option is still the best for any junior members as well as adults.
To sign up go to https://www.lta.org.uk/advantage/ .
Link your account to the club
If you already have an Advantage account, you will need to select Winton Tennis Club as your affiliated venue if you wish to play matches for the club in the Dorset doubles league. Below are the steps you need to take.
- Log in to your Advantage account with the login details you created when you opened the account

- Click “Add another venue” and search for Winton Tennis Club, select it when it’s displayed
