“The Philippines deserves the best. The ATPCA is a tool for all the aspirants to learn and be confident,” said Concon-Puzon, a former mainstay of the Philippine team and member of the ATPCA with a Master Pro Level 3 title. “We want to give back to our individual students all our knowledge and graduates will all be part of the world’s Orange Coach where they can keep contact with all coaches on all levels in the ATPCA.” 

The course, set Nov. 3-7 at the Orchard Golf and Country Club in Dasmariñas, Cavite, serves as a practical “hands on” qualification course for a new, trainee or developing tennis coach. It covers coaching competencies such as, delivering group lesson training drills, activities and games for maximum participation, along with stroke fundamentals, including grips, ball feeding methods and effective communication.

Backers of the event are the Palawan Pawnshop Palawan Express Pera Pada, the MCTA, the ATPCA, Slazenger, ACell and the Orchard GCC.

“This marks the first time that such a program is held here where coaching jobs from the ATPCA also awaits the graduates,” said director Bobby Mangunay.
