The purpose of this  course is to provide the tennis industry with consistent language around the major tennis movements and footwork. As the leading tennis-specific fitness and sport science association, the International Tennis Performance Association (iTPA) determined that some major challenges exist throughout the global tennis industry in how tennis movement is communicated, and therefore how it is taught. Up until this point a lack of consistency has existed to describe the most common movements seen on the tennis court. The hope is that this free resources can help simplify the tennis movement and footwork language and help coaches, trainers, therapist, players and parents communicate in a simple and consistent way. 

"This Tennis Movement & Footwork resource through the International Tennis Performance Association (iTPA) has helped me as a coach communicate with our physical performance coaches and get everyone on the same page about how to help our tennis players improve on and off the court in their tennis specific movement."
