The first ever CBI (Coaching Beginner & Intermediate) Coaching Course in Pakistan, was held at the PTF Complex, Islamabad. Overall, this course allows candidates to enhance individual Tennis coaching abilities, as well as to give players in their respective regions better and more appropriate coaching opportunities.
Participants of this course were taught the latest concepts in coaching and developing beginner and intermediate level children; this included tactics, techniques, physical conditioning and psychological development. Participants also learned the basics about coaching special ability players; wheelchair, hearing, and vision impaired.
This course will directly affect participation across Pakistan, as retention numbers in players increase if they are coached appropriately according to their age and skill level (this has been proved true by data we have in our records. The course also gives an opportunity to identify future Play Tennis tutors; Play tennis is the foundation level in the PTF Coaches Education Program (CBI being the next one).
The 2 Coaching Advanced Players (formerly known as Level 2) certified trainee Tutors who assisted in this course, will now qualify as Assistant Tutors for the next CBI, as per the PTF Tutor pathway, and, subsequently, add to the numbers in the existing tutors pool.
