UPCOMING EVENTS
Wheelchair Coach Education Clinic
October 14 - 15 | Greenbelt, MD
Held at the JTCC, and facilitated by USTA, the training will take place over two days. The training is free to attend, lunch will be provided both days, and if you are a PTR or USPTA certified tennis coach you will be able to add this certificate to your certification! For those looking to attend from out of town, we have secured a special $109 hotel rate at the Crowne Plaza Greenbelt for October 13-15.

There are only ten spots available for non-JTCC coaches in this clinic, so act fast! Due to the limited spots, submission of this form does not serve as confirmation for attending the event; confirmation will be sent via email by Gabby Hesse no less than two weeks before the event.
