The goal of this project was to deliver seminars and relevant topics to local areas and reach teaching professionals who may not be able to travel to the USPTA World Conference and FL Division Convention. The REDs are offered at no cost to members and consist of six hours of classroom and on-court seminars providing professional development and networking opportunities for USPTA Professionals. As supplements to the annual division convention, REDs reach out to diverse groups, provide opportunity for new speakers and engage camaraderie within each region.
