The USTA offers two dynamic workshops tailored to coaches' specific needs. The Coaching Fundamentals Workshop (CFW) hones essential skills for guiding beginner to low-intermediate players, certifying participants as Level 1 coaches upon fulfilling additional criteria. On the other hand, the Play Facilitators Workshop (PFW) centers on fostering a joyful, player-focused environment by emphasizing competence, confidence, connection, character, and creativity. Both workshops are designed to empower coaches to inspire and shape the next generation of tennis players.
