And here is the web site for USTA Coaching.
Excerpt:
"So, in August, the USTA, with all its resources, jumped in big time to create an entirely new coaching group – USTA Coaching, which will work with teaching pros, parents, clubs and manufacturers as it tries to educate and upgrade tennis teaching.
USTA Coaching CEO Craig Morris is thrilled with the launch of the group., which has caught fire. Much of its wide-ranging programming is already in place, and out of the gate, a whopping 6,000 have gotten the message and have already signed up.

" Accessibility is key. We need to engage with PE teachers and middle and high school coaches. Plus, we’ve got to have coaches that look like the community. We need women, Hispanic, Asian-American and Black coaches.”
Morris also reflected on the nature of coaching. “There’s the science of coaching – the swings, grips and bio-mechanics. But there’s also the art of coaching, where you create an environment where somebody can feel connected to the game, feel the social interaction, have fun and enjoy the whole experience of the sport and become the best player they can be.”
