       A person, like the above, who wants to become trained to
create a positive, meaningful learning experience for new-comers
to promote their continuing interest in tennis. Applicants complete
a Recreational Coaches Workshop and then may join the USPTA as
Developmental Coaches.

2) What is a Recreational Coaches Workshop?

The workshops are six hours long and provide outstanding,
proven methods for introducing tennis.
