USTA Coaching Launches!

There's never been a better time to get involved in coaching tennis, with 5.9 million new players (and counting!).  USTA Mississippi can provide resources for you to get involved part-time or full-time as well as providing access to coaching education!

USTA hosts two types of workshops, a two-day "Level 1 Coaching Fundamentals" Workshop, and a one day, 2-3 hour Community Coach Workshop (3 offered in 3 locations).

A Level 1 Coaching Fundamentals Workshop is the first level of coaching certification, and the precursor to becoming a Level 2 Certified Instructor with USTA Coaching, PTR, or RSPA.

After completing this course, participants can continue advancing through higher levels of coaching development and gain access to more specialized resources and support.
