American tennis participation is growing, and the USTA is trying to help the playing population learn the sport by launching a new online coaching center.
To meet the growing demand of America’s 25 million tennis players, USTA Coaching today announced the launch of a new online learning center at USTACoaching.comdesigned to “expand, professionalize and democratize the training pipeline nationwide.”
The USTA said the new online coaching center is designed to meet the need many communities face for a lack of experienced and certified tennis coaching.
Here is an excerpt of the USTA release USTACoaching.com released today:
Despite record levels of play, many communities face limited access to educated and certified coaches. The new online learning center makes coach education accessible to anyone, anywhere, empowering not only seasoned professionals but also newcomers to the sport, including those who train informally at home or in their local communities.

Since the launch of USTA Coaching, over 5,500 coaches have already joined the platform.
