Tennis coaches and organizers from all areas of the game – high school, college, clubs, academies, etc – can sign up to host their own UTR Virtual Events and be a part of this new engaging hub to share their tennis expertise and stay connected to the global tennis community.
New UTR Virtual Event highlights include:
“Our goal is to continue to provide opportunities for tennis coaches and organizers to showcase their expertise and create engaging content for players as organized in-person events are on hold,” said Mark Leschly, Universal Tennis Chairman & CEO. “The tennis industry is feeling the effects of the global shutdown and we want to offer coaches and organizers opportunities to drive valuable interactions with the broader tennis community and support their programs.”
Universal Tennis will also be expanding its popular UTR Powered by Oracle All Access Series, a live free webinar series hosted by Prakash Amritraj and others, featuring engaging interviews and participant Q&A’s with the greatest players and minds in the game.
