Coaches/Organizers

The coach plays the most important role in motivating a player and teaching the skills that a player will have for a lifetime.  Coaches serve as role models and demonstrate the behaviors that players will emulate.  Coaching new students is tremendously rewarding. Any successful coach has a plan and a base of knowledge that will help players improve their skills, have fun and develop a love of the game.  If you have an interest, the USTA can help you get started as a coach in your area.

 

The USTA offers excellent on-court workshops for coaches working with beginning through intermediate players. These workshops are interactive, fun and participants learn by doing.  They are conducted in a group atmosphere by a highly trained and entertaining teaching professional.  These are excellent for anyone coaching beginning through intermediate players, teams or players with special needs.
