Consultation on the Proposed Coach Licensing Framework
Help Shape the Future of Tennis Coaching in Trinidad & Tobago
The Tennis Association of Trinidad & Tobago (TennisTT) is developing a National Coach Licensing Framework, aligned with International Tennis Federation (ITF) standards and adapted to the local tennis environment.
As part of this process, TennisTT invites key stakeholders to participate in a series of online consultation sessions to review the proposed framework and provide feedback before it is finalised and piloted.
This is a consultation, not a final launch.
Stakeholder feedback will directly inform revisions to the framework.
Purpose of the Consultation
These sessions are designed to:
- Share the proposed Coach Licensing Framework and related policies
- Explain the objectives, structure, and timelines

- Ensure the framework reflects local needs and realities
- Strengthen trust, transparency, and collaboration
