Upcoming USATT Coaching Courses and Seminars

(BY LARRY HODGES)

USATT is taking a two-pronged approach to educating our coaches – and players too! Take your pick of an ITTF Coaching Course or a USATT University Seminar at the USA Nationals.

ITTF Coaching Courses

These are for current and prospective coaches who wish to improve their coaching skills as well as get certified as a USATT and ITTF coach. (Note that when you are certified at ITTF Levels 1, 2, or 3, you are automatically certified as a USATT coach at the corresponding levels of State, Regional, and National Coach.) There are five upcoming ITTF Coaching seminars:

 

  • Fort Worth, TX – ITTF-PTT Level 2 Coaching Course – July 28 – August 2
  • Denver, CO – ITTF-PTT Level 1 Course – August 7-11
