PROFESSIONAL TENNIS MANAGEMENT

INTERNSHIPS AT CLTA

The USTA’s professional tennis management (PTM) program is a great addition to a four-year bachelor’s degree. Students with focus areas in hospitality, sports management and exercise science will find that the PTM program enhances their education and provides much added value to their degree. After completing the PTM program, students can pursue careers in tennis event and facility management, technology, marketing, and business. There are more opportunities to work in the tennis industry than ever before. Chris has mentored PTM graduates in high performance training methods and junior development and recommends these programs to young coaches. You do not have to be a PTM graduate to be an apprentice with Chris.
