Abstract

The purpose of the current study was to utilise the RE-AIM framework to evaluate the national-level scale out of the Lawn Tennis Association’s ‘Optimal Competition Parenting Workshop’ across a 4-year period. During 2018, 65 workshops were run across the United Kingdom, 1043 parents registered, and 933 parents attended. Adopting a quasi-experimental design, multilevel analyses revealed significant increases in parents’ (n = 130) task goal orientation and competition tennis parenting efficacy, as well as significant decreases in ego goal orientation and unpleasant emotions. Children’s perceptions of both mother and father-initiated ego involving motivational climate and their own ego goal orientation significantly decreased across time. From 2019 to 2021, a further 64 workshops were delivered to 1110 parents with no significant differences in parents’ satisfaction, enjoyment, instructor evaluation, or transfer intention over time. Overall, the OCPW represents a well-received, practical, and effective brief intervention for enhancing parental involvement in junior tennis.
