The option for Tennis Coaches in Singapore is spread across in a mess. In other words, becoming or finding a credible Tennis coach in Singapore can be tough. To be recognized as an eligible tennis coach in Singapore, you will have to go through an extensive 1-month course, after which if you pass, you will have to do 72 hours of tennis coaching commitment with the Singapore Tennis Association. Singapore Tennis Association is the main tennis body in Singapore which can allow you to be certified under the International tennis federation teachings and guidance. It’s a grueling course that tests every coach’s ability.

There are many types of tennis coaches in Singapore and around the world. The pioneering platform for coaches’ education is the International Tennis Federation.

The Code forms part of the ITF Coach Education Programme and is included in all ITF Coaches Courses including Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 coaches courses. National Associations are also encouraged to use the Code in their coaching education program and to ensure that coaches at all levels of the game sign up. ITF only supports the National Association now, and no longer gives the certificate directly.

We have to agree that getting the certificate was actually a hard time for our coaches but we are proud to have 4 certified coaches with ITF and The Singapore Tennis Association.

We do encourage coaches to go to the ITF-guided courses because of their detailed coaching programs. Some tennis coaches in Singapore do not even have any certification, so be sure to ask them for one if you need to know.
