We have always commented on the importance of having all tennis coaches have training on their profession.
The Jalisco Tennis Association, chaired by Juan Hernández, has asked its technical area to see how to attack this point immediately and start now so that within four years we will have an interesting group of new coaches.
Then they spoke with the tennis teacher, José Luis Fernández, to be in charge of this area.
The objectives established to carry out the training of coaches in Jalisco are:
- Establish profiles of coaches.
- Take the state census.
- Generate a Mexican gamer model.
- Approve previous courses.
- Certify coaches according to their profile
It is our desire to advance as quickly as possible in achieving these objectives, therefore, we will begin our activity with the 2021 Mexico Tennis Teachers Symposium.
Inviting experts from our country and foreigners in different areas.
Professor José Luis Fernández’s experience is this: since 1992 we have promoted the USPTR certification in Mexico, reaching more than 200 coaches throughout the country.
In 1993 we started PRONCAP with two courses endorsed by the ITF, CONADE and the FMT.
Since 1996 we have trained more than 500 physical education and tennis teachers with the Mini-Tennis program in schools, in addition to promoting and teaching the Conade SICCED.
In 2000 we resumed training with the ITF and the FMT, registering more than 800 coaches and seeking national certification and recognition.
Once again and independently, Profesores Tenis México will seek with experimental coaches from all over the country and abroad, to offer our own homologation of courses, workshops and experience, to support each one of us.
This Mexico Tennis Teachers Symposium will be held on July 9, 10 and 11 at the Mexico Tennis Academy at the Hacienda del Real Club in Zapopan, Jalisco.
We will have professional presentations in Mini-Tennis, development, children’s and youth competition, high performance, club management and university tennis.
These experts will present on the field and at work tables to establish minimum standards of courses and trajectory to be certified in each area.
They will present the minimum curriculum for each area and will have on-court presentations of the minimum tactical progressions necessary for each level.
At the end of the symposium, courses will be scheduled for each level and we will have the state census of coaches.
This is a very important point that clubs and teachers who often do not take their courses due to lack of money should take into account, Teachers Tennis Mexico ratifies the offer of a 25% scholarship to coaches from Jalisco who participate, as long as the clubs send four coaches, so one out of four will be free.
The symposium offers 24 hours of different presentations and professional experiences with national and international speakers and has a cost of three thousand pesos when paying the registration before June 9, and three thousand 500 paying a week before its start.
The clubs have to take advantage of this opportunity and send mainly all those players who want to be coaches, and thus form a young group of new professionals, but with the great difference that they will be trained, because this will not be the only course, there will be many more in the year, and they will be evaluated so that each of these young people and future coaches have their coaching title, and with that we can raise the level of tennis schools as well as the level of PROFESSIONALISM of the coaches.
Without a doubt, I believe that each club can send at least 10 coaches, and in this way we will see changes in the students and in tennis in general.
Another and very good step by the ATJ for tennis in Mexico.
