Coaches Education - Level 1 Coaches Course The Level 1 course is divided into a two-day mini-tennis course and a seven-day tennis course. The goal of the Level 1 course is to give candidates the skills required to introduce people to tennis through mini-tennis, to coach players up to junior competition level and also to promote tennis at a grass-roots level. Participants are usually physical education schoolteachers, tennis coaches or officials. Candidates must be able to demonstrate a minimum level of play (e.g. ability to rally / demonstrate basic strokes / feed balls to student) and undertake several exams including an individual lesson test, a group lesson test, a tennis playing / demonstration test and a written theory test. E-learning format: Coaches taking part in the ITF Level 1 Course should study in advance the theoretical and practical contents which are included in the ITF Level 1 Course Power Points. During the course, the theoretical sessions will review the main ideas from these resources. All course documents can be downloaded below as PDF documents.
