Tennis levels up coaching education

The BTA Coach Education System has met all the criteria established by the ITF Coaches Commission for the White level recognition, becoming only the fourth in Africa after Kenya, Egypt and South Africa. The recognition is for a period of four years ending in December 2025, pending a review.

Speaking to Mmegi Sport, BTA president Oaitse Thipe said the move will enable the federation to conduct its own coaching clinics in line with the ITF. He said the BTA already has six coach trainers and will help speed up the process of helping local coaches attain the relevant qualification.
