02/22/07 - The United States Professional Tennis Association invites tennis-teaching professionals and coaches to earn the sport’s most respected certification and join the USPTA.
USPTA’s certification exam includes an on-court evaluation of private and group lesson instruction, plus evaluation of playing skills, stroke and grip analysis, and other teaching skills. It also includes a written test covering teaching and business management skills, rules, club activity programming and other topics.
A certification review course (CRC) precedes the exam and includes a review of exam topics such as developing student rapport, class organization, lesson progressions and teaching techniques.
Successful applicants for the certification exam become Professional-level members of USPTA. The association offers separate membership opportunities for part-time teachers and wheelchair tennis instructors.
Advanced registration for the exam is required, and is available online at www.uspta.com or by calling (800) 877-8248. Information is also available by writing to membership@uspta.org. The fee for the exam is $175.
