Get USPTA Certified

The USPTA is the official coach certification partner of the WTCA. One of the reasons we formed our partnership is that they are the best in the world, and we are thrilled about the opportunity to work alongside the USPTA and grow tennis.

Founded in 1927, the USPTA is the global leader in tennis-teacher certification and professional development and was the first USTA accredited association under the USTA Accreditation Program.

With more than 14,000 members worldwide and 17 divisions nationwide, the Association’s mission is to raise the standards of tennis-teaching professionals and coaches and to promote a greater awareness of the sport.

The USPTA offers its members more than 60 professional benefits, including on-court liability insurance, health insurance assistance, a supplemental savings plan for retirement and offers more than 200 education events a year for members to improve their teaching skills and increase their business knowledge.

The USPTA is governed nationally by a democratically elected Executive Committee and Board of Directors. The daily administration of the USPTA is overseen by the CEO at the World Headquarters in Lake Nona, Fla., just outside of Orlando. The majority of the USPTA’s membership consists of Professional and Elite Professional level members who work full-time in the tennis industry. USPTA Professionals have job titles including general manager, director of tennis, assistant professional, and coach. They direct tennis businesses, develop tennis programming, oversee tennis operations, teach lessons, and coach teams at all types of facilities, such as private and commercial clubs, public tennis centers and parks, and colleges and schools.
