Dear Coach,
Congratulations on successfully completing the final phase of the

served as the “Application Phase” of the program and signifies
completion of the program. We will now notify the USPTA and/or PTR
regarding your successful completion. They will then proceed with
the certification process.
In the near future we will be notifying you of the schedule for the
continuing education courses that will be offered in the second half

It was great having you in the program and once again,
congratulations.

What is USTA High Performance Coaching?
USTA Coaching Education
Department mission statement:
To elevate the level of High Performance Coaching in the

world-class American tennis Champions.
Established in 1999 the purpose of the USTA Coaching
Education department is to gather, develop, and disseminate the

and books) as well as having the department conduct seminars and

The USTA has initiated the USTA High Performance

educational effort. The program is intended specifically for the
coach working with players who are striving for excellence in tennis

professionals). The USTA Coaching Education Department has
established the educational component in cooperation with the USPTA
and the PTR. Upon completion of the curriculum, the USPTA and/or
the USPTR will certify the coaches. Since it’s inception in 2000
