Competitive Pathway Webinars and Q&A'sFor Tennis Parents
The USTA is proud to offer a series of lunch-and-learn webinars, both live and on-demand, to help tennis parents navigate the sport’s competitive pathway. In these sessions, most of which are just 30-minutes, we bring to you leading experts, current tennis players, and world-class coaches to discuss the USTA’s approach to competitive tennis while also focusing on mental health.
By the end of the series, parents will better understand aspects of health & wellness in the context of junior competitive play and be able to apply best practices to their child’s tournament experience.
See below for our upcoming schedule and pre-register today. For past sessions, we are happy to provide them to you to watch or listen on-demand.
