LEARN HOW TO TEACH TENNIS
Dennis Van der Meer created the perfect learning environment for all tennis players. His TU course has launched the careers of countless great coaches and helped others finance their college careers by giving them a solid base for getting a job. This COVID time has been great for the social yet distant sport of tennis. It could be the right time to take the course, train a bit with other participants and have a great experience that will help with your own game. It also is perfect for parents who want to understand the important commonalities to look for in their kids’ instruction. Many people looking for a 2nd career find TU just the right fit to guide them into a tennis career.
The course touches on all aspects of tennis instruction, adaptive tennis, stringing, pro shop and running events. Participants have the opportunity to observe VDM programs while here, including adults, young juniors, academy level players. It’s an amazing opportunity to get a solid base in tennis teaching.
