Power of Her Scholarship

We are opening our first-ever Power of Her Scholarship, designed to empower women coaches to continue learning and growing.

While 44% of USTA New England's seasonal coaches are women, only 25% of all certified teaching professionals nationwide are female. Let's change that together.

This scholarship supports women (18+) at any stage of their coaching journey, providing financial assistance for training, certification, and career advancement.

The scholarship is for $250 to use towards professional development. We are happy to award 10 scholarships at this time!

US Open Ticket Giveaway

Nominate your favorite coach and automatically enter them for a chance to win a loaded 2025 US Open package!

We'll kick off National Tennis Month on May 1st by randomly selecting one lucky coach to win a pair of courtside tickets to Arthur Ashe Stadium, a hotel in NYC and transportation to and from the US Open!

Please be sure to carefully read the directions on the form before nominating!

The Power of Questions
October 02, 2026

At my first team meeting at the University of Denver, I put the team into groups of three and asked them to list the essential features of a healthy relationship between two players. These nine players came back with fifty-two unique ideas. 52! I was good for 10 or 15, but not 52. What struck me was how much they already knew, the wisdom that the question uncovered. Their collective knowledge had been there all along, in a room full of college students I had assumed I needed to teach. But no one had ever asked them this question. Read More
Sharon Murphy Spotlight

"This is stupid." That was the verdict from a group of kids at a summer club in Glastonbury, CT, the first time Sharon Murphy laid caution tape across the length of the court, creating six 36-foot courts on one full-size tennis court. The kids wanted to know why. Why couldn't they just play with the yellow ball? Read More

When I was 34, I heard Stan Smith give a lecture on the role of the head in posture and balance. Being a young, all-knowing coach at the time, I thought it was obvious. Of course posture and balance matter. Seven years later, I had an epiphany. I finally saw what true posture and balance actually look like. It is not obvious. Not even close. I had to pay attention. Close attention. And in my experience, it is the root cause of most technical errors coaches are trying to solve.
