ATPCA Advanced Level 2 Course


  The Ultimate Qualification for the Progressive Coach
   
 
   
   
  Overview    
 

The Advanced LEVEL 2 course comprises a three day on-court practical learning experience. The coaching skills and principles learnt in the Graduate Level 1 course are taken to a more in-depth level with added competencies. It develops your proficiency to professionally coach high standard teens and more advanced adult players up to a quite high competition level. The drills and key learning processes are predominately practical (on court).

All competencies learnt throughout this course equip aspiring pro coaches with the necessary industry knowledge, practical experience and associated coaching principles to become successful within the industry. The pre requisites are a playing standard of ITN 6, and you must have coached for at least 100 hours at the Graduate Level 1 qualification.
