PTR is the only tennis teaching organization in the US that provides certification for coaches working with 10 &
Under players. This workshop was revised in 2015 to include more time developing players on the Orange and
Green court. The workshop builds on the USTA Coach Youth Tennis program.
The PTR 10 & Under Certification Workshop emphasizes the importance of creating a coaching environment in
which children can play quickly. The course is divided into two parts: 4 hours of recommended preparation from
the 60 page Study Guide, followed by an 16 hour on court workshop. The workshop prepares participants for the
three part certification exam. Two parts of the exam (skills and teaching) are administered on court at the
completion of the workshop. The remaining part - the online written exam - must be submitted within 7 days after
the workshop. Elements of the Certification Workshop include a)communication and organization skills for the
coach, b)structure and content of tennis lessons, c)skills and game development for juniors, d)serve, rally and
score as quickly as possible, e)appropriate competition for different age and f) Information for working positively
with parents.
