Total initial cost is only $125 (a savings of 62% off the regular price of $330) for a PTR on Campus student to join PTR, get the certification study materials, attend a PTR Teaching Essentials Workshop and take the PTR certification tests. While a student and 23 years old or younger, the annual dues are only $25.

With many tennis clubs only hiring certified and insured teaching professionals, obtaining a PTR Certification will put you in a strong position to land a teaching position; a small investment with a big payoff for your potential full or part time job. We also offer liability insurance for only $20/year for PTR on Campus members (normal cost is $40/year), another benefit and attribute that will put you ahead of the pack.

Once you join as a PTR on Campus member, you have the option of attending a complimentary PTR Teaching Essentials Certification Workshop ($95 value) either on a college campus or at any of our other workshop locations.

"The Teaching Essentials Workshop not only helped me to pass the certification tests, it made me a better, more confident tennis teacher. My students and tennis director noticed the difference immediately. After graduation, the PTR Certification helped me to land the job at the club I wanted " - Tim Shaw, University of Wisconsin.

“There is a huge void in the number of younger people teaching tennis today,” said Dan Santorum, PTR’s CEO. “PTR on Campus addresses this issue and will help ensure a younger generation of tennis teaching professionals will continue to grow the game. With the popularity of tennis growing faster than any other traditional sport, we anticipate many job opportunities for well trained young professionals.”

In an effort to grow the game, students are offered the opportunity to learn to teach tennis, obtain liability insurance and maintain PTR membership at prices most students can afford. In exchange, students are asked to give back to their communities by providing 10 hours of free tennis lessons. Through the education provided by the PTR on Campus program, students who teach tennis can help pay their tuition, supplement their income, or save for the future. In addition, they will be prepared for a full or part time career in tennis if they so choose.
