School In-Service Trainings
Designed to train physical educators and out-of-school program providers how to teach tennis to large groups of students in limited spaces (gymnasiums, playgrounds) with a teacher-to-student ration of typically 1 to 30 or higher. Large group management techniques and station-based teaching is core to the in-service program (3 hours).
