Getting Started as a Coach

 

 

Seasons of Play

We have two seasons. One in the Spring that starts at the end of February and runs into the beginning of June. 

Our second season of the Fall goes from the end of September to the beginning of December or late November.   

 

Exact dates are determined after the Coaches Meeting at the prior to each season

Levels of Play

Novice Level 7 Tournament Players

Intermediate Level 6 Tournament Players

Advanced Level 1-5 Tournament Players

We then have the following age groups of 12U, 14U and 18U. 

 

10 and Unders are Orange and Green Ball Levels separatley. 

Team Cost

Each club will (or can) charge a fee to be on their league team. Clubs charge from $100 to $250 per season depending on the Tennis Club. As a Coach, one may charge what they feel is appropriate as each club is different.

This fee consideration should look to cover team registration, t-shirts, coaching, tennis balls and more.  

 

 

Now let’s get started with becoming a coach, getting a team registered and then registering players for your team(s).

Let's Get You Started as a Coach

 

• First a coach needs to become a Coach/Captain in order to sign-up a team and be in the system.

   

  Where do I go to become a Coach/Captain?

  Go to www.usta.com and click on TennisLink, then click on Jr. Team Tennis

   

• Click on Become a Coach/Manager.

   

• Enter in your usta membership number or player information if you are not a member.

   

• Create a password, confirm it, and then make up a password hint in case you forget.

   

• Click submit.

   

• Please note you will need to be Safe Play certified before you can create a team and be a coach.

   

Becoming SafePlay Certified

​

• Please take a look at this website for all the information. http://www.sandiegoteamtennis.com/#!safe-play/c9qb. There are 3 steps to go through. The first one is easy while just looking over information from the JTT, while steps 2 and 3 are the important ones to complete.

   

• It is a little time consuming though with patience, the process is not too troublesome. One should do this asap as there is a 10 day process to get ones screening results back from the background check
