Membership and Certification
   

Workshop participants vary within the tennis industry. Some are professional players making career changes. Others are tennis teaching professionals, college coaches, USTA clinicians, high school coaches and program volunteers. All workshops are led by specially trained PTR Clinicians. Workshop Leaders begin their training as PTR certification testers.

   
Membership and Certification
PTR membership and certification are not included in your workshop fee. Many workshop attendees join PTR months before the workshop so they can begin to prepare for the certification testing. PTR certification ratings are awarded to those members who pass all five parts of the tests.
