What is it?
The TA Trainee Coaching Course (TCC) was designed by the Tennis Australia Coach Development Department and selected educational providers to train coaches to develop the skills of junior tennis players aged 4-12 years, with a focus on enjoyment and learner success.

The principal focus is to develop the participant's ability to deliver coaching sessions rather than to plan or construct lessons.

Who is it for?
This course is suitable for people who would like to begin working under the guidance of a qualified coach.

What will I learn?
The primary focus of the course is to develop the participant's ability to deliver coaching sessions. More than 65 per cent of the course hours will be spent on court and there will be approximately six hours of practical coaching with kids.

The majority of the course content has been adapted from units in the TA Junior Development course. 

How long is it?
The course runs for four days.   

Assessment
The course does not include any formal assessment, however, there will be pre-course and course work to be completed by participants outside the course contact hours.

All course participants will receive a certificate of participation but not a qualification, as the course does not include any formal assessments. 

Participants who go on to complete the TA Junior Development course within two years of completing the Trainee course will receive a $200 discount on the cost of the Junior Development Coaching Course.
