The USPTA Recreational Coach category is designed for people who may already be teaching tennis - as high school coaches, at recreational facilities or in other part-time situations - but are not immediate candidates for careers as full-time teaching professionals.

To become a Recreational Coach, applicants must complete the online PTCA I or attend a USTA Recreational Coach Workshop, which covers the basic standards of tennis teaching. Applicants must be at least 18 years of age to apply for this category.

If you have already met either of these requirements, please click here for a USPTA Recreational Coach application.
