Upcoming Chair Training Opportunities

Have you ever wanted to be a chair official at a collegiate match?  Lots of people (and officials) say they want to do it but don't know how to get involved and get the training necessary to do chair work.  The best training program is offered right here in the state of Texas and is open to anyone who would like to participate.  The only requirement is that you be both USTA and ITA certified.  Here are the training opportunities that are available in 2018:

INTERCOLLEGIATE CHAIR ACADEMY

Plano, Texas

May 13-15, 2018

This chair academy is the premier chair training academy in the country and is open to anyone.  The academy is held in conjunction with the national men's junior college tournament and is a great stepping stone to doing collegiate work anywhere in America.  Participants receive on-court training by highly qualified instructors as well as individualized instruction in chair techniques.  Participation is limited but there are still a few openings available if you are interested. 

INDIVIDUALIZED CHAIR TRAINING

Plano, Texas
June-November, 2018

Chair training on an individual basis is offered in the late summer and fall seasons in Plano.  The training involves chair work at high-level high school dual matches as well as summer circuit ITA events and fall tournaments at SMU.

Training begins on July 7-9, 2018 with a collegiate tournament at UT Dallas as well as an ITA tournament at UTA on July 14-17, 2018.  The continued training in August through October is at Highland Park High School and features the top high school tennis programs in Texas.    

The culmination of the fall training is participation in collegiate tournaments at SMU on October 5-7th and November 2-4, 2018.
