TPT is the Level 1 tennis fitness certification targeted at those wanting to enter the profession, tennis coaches who also perform the physical training with their players or those fitness or other professionals looking to add tennis-specific initiatives to their current training/specialist offerings.

Demonstrate your tennis fitness knowledge and gain credibility with employers, parents and tennis players. If you work at a club, make sure your owner realizes that by paying for their tennis coaches to be iTPA Certified through Tennis Performance Trainer (TPT), they will have a certified tennis fitness specialist on site! This can be a great marketing tool for the club.

100% online exam that can be taken from ANY country as long as you have a computer and internet connection.

TPT focuses on basic, evidence-based tennis-specific training research provided in a practical manner which builds your knowledge and skills when working with tennis athletes of all ages and levels. You will learn tennis-specific sport science information with assessments, drills & exercises to improve performance and reduce injuries in the tennis athlete. The program educates you in 14 areas of competencies including an extensive online examination to ensure mastery of the tennis-specific fitness and training information.
