USTA Southern California offers school districts and physical education teachers the opportunity to host (at no expense) an in-person professional development session, which will be run by USTA SoCal staff. To qualify, the host must bring together ten staff/faculty for two hours in an activity space such as a gym or blacktop. It’s the first step in bringing tennis programming to your students!
