Recognition of Coaching Competence

As such, it respects and recognizes your current teaching and coaching competence which includes foreign coaches with ITF approved certification and Canadian coaches with significant coaching experience. Tennis Canada also recognizes coaching competence with respect to the playing background of former professional players.
