Community Tennis Instructor Training

These free trainings are designed for existing novice coaches and avid tennis players interested in learning to coach. Participants will learn the basic skills to coach the sport of tennis and how to run entry-level group programming.

 

This workshop is open to players of all skill levels and no prior coaching experience is required. It is an active, on-court session so participants will need to bring their racquets & be dressed to move. Contact Francie Barragan at Barragan@sta.usta.com with any questions or to inquire about future trainings in your area.
