MTEF and the USTA are committed to providing a meaningful and practical hands-on workshop for recreational coaches in the Milwaukee community. The purpose of the MTEF/ USTA Recreational Coach Workshop is to provide participants with a solid foundation for effective teaching practices, the Games Based Approach to Coaching, teaching large groups and the proper use of teaching aids. 

MTEF hosted the USTA Recreational Coach Workshop on Sunday, May 31 at Nicolet High School in Glendale.  Rick Vetter and Shelly Kindig-Bugg, certified USTA national trainers, conducted the workshop, which was attended by 70 coaches. 

This six-hour workshop takes participants through a series of hands-on lesson formats and offers tips for those new to instruction as well as those coaches with experience. Curriculum handouts were provided at no cost.  These entry-level workshops are ideal for inexperienced teachers, seasonal coaches, or anyone else working with children or adults at the recreational level.  Recreational Coach Workshops emphasize fun ways to teach USTA Tennis programs to groups of either children or adults.
