Binghamton Tennis Center hosted a USTA Recreational Coaches Workshop Saturday, March 8 from 10:30 am-5 pm. 24 people signed up from around upstate NY, and 20 braved the weather and wer rewarded for their efforts. The workshop covered modern basic & advanced teaching techniques, coaching, use of spinner and pressureless tennis balls, and quick start tennis, the latest in beginner teaching concepts. We also covered some some great drills.
The clinic was run by Jack & Judith Curry, master clinicians and everyone in attendance was impressed and gained much from the clinic. We plan to run host this workshop yearly, and hope to get more elementary and middle school gym teachers, who may wish to run tennis programs as a part of their curriculum. Many thanks to all of you who attended. Was a great time.
