Professional Tennis Registry this week announced the 2018 date for its premier coaching event — the PTR International Tennis Symposium — on Feb. 13-16 on Hilton Head Island, S.C.
More than 45 industry experts will conduct classroom and on-court presentations at the PTR Symposium, including Leo Alonso, Mike Barrell, Emma Doyle, Frank Giampaolo, Edgar Giffenig, Dr. Ben Kibler, Dr. Mark Kovacs, Chris Lewit, Dr. Jim Loehr, Carl Maes, Craig O’Shannessy, Joao Pinho, Oivind Sorvald and Sarah Stone.
Topics range from tennis business and sport science to teaching tactics and techniques.
The symposium also hosts a Tennis Trade Show with demo courts, and a tournament where coaches compete. Participants will take part in the Parade of Nations Flag Ceremony and enjoy awards presentations during the annual banquet and membership meeting.
The STMS (Society for Tennis Medicine and Science) has scheduled its conference immediately following the symposium, anticipating drawing PTR attendees.
