Organizations such as the U.S. Professional Tennis Association (USPTA) and the U.S. Professional Tennis Registry (USPTR) provide training and certification for tennis instructors.

The USPTA and the USPTR use standard methods of tennis instruction and a year-round, worldwide schedule of courses. Membership in one of these organizations could give your resort job application an extra dose of credibility that could get you hired.

Joining this type of organization brings with it benefits that are sure to help you succeed not only in your search for a resort job, but throughout your entire tennis career. As a member you'll have access to workshops and clinics, liability insurance, instructional manuals and videotapes, discounts on equipment and travel, employment guidance, and subscriptions to tennis publications.
