Professional Tennis Management

TJC Professional Tennis Management has conducted quality Management Programs emphasizing Tennis Teaching Instruction and Management Skills since 1974. Tennis Tech offers Associates Degrees and a one-year Certificate Program in Business and Recreation Leadership.

This program provides a two-year course to train students in teaching tennis, planning programs for tennis facilities, merchandising and operating pro shops, and maintaining tennis facilities. In addition, students are trained and prepared for certification testing.

Students spend 15 hours per week on lab work, on-campus tennis clinics and functions of team coaching. Training aids used in the tennis program are books, video and audio recorders, ball machines, and stringing machines.

For more than 20 years our tennis teaching program has attracted students from more than 35 states and 20 countries. Endorsed by the USPTA, the Tennis Tech program at TIC is dedicated to showing our students that being a professional in the tennis world involves more than playing tennis.
