A Recreational Coach Workshop will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., March 29 at the Kaua‘i Community College, the United States Tennis Association announced Monday.
According to a USTA release, RCWs are interactive, on-court training programs designed for tennis teachers and coaches working with players at the recreational level.
Each workshop is six hours in length and conducted by a certified tennis professional specifically trained for the RCW program.
The goal of the program is to help all teachers, coaches and those interested in learning how to become a recreational coach with instruction, fresh and innovative ideas and easy-to-follow resources.
“We understand the importance of those teachers and coaches who are working with players at the recreational level,” said Kirk Anderson, Director, Recreational Coaches and Programming, USTA, in the release. “These people play a significant role in determining if a player continues to play tennis. We want to give the workshop participants exciting ways to introduce the sport and fun activities to keep kids and adults playing.”
Each workshop participant will receive lesson plans and sample equipment in an effort to make the learning process fun and easy.
Participants must bring a racquet and sunscreen.
Registration for the RCW is being taken by Carolyn Lum at 245-9661, or e-mail hawaii96766@yahoo.com
