Player Development Camps are a tool for COACH IDENTIFICATION as well as Player Identification.
ALL NorCal Coaches are invited to attend the Coaches Orientation run by a NorCal Coaches Commission member, one hour prior to the start of each Player Development Camp. Learn the USTA Teaching and Coaching Philosophy (created by Jose Higueras and Patrick McEnroe) that is implemented at the National Training Centers. Please attend to learn, collaborate, and join with NorCal's Player Development team.
The orientation is for 1 hour prior to the start of the camp, and guest coaches are welcome to stay on to shadow our camps coaches for the duration of the camp.
The mission of the Player Development Camps are extend the USTA Philosophy for teaching and coaching which will help to create more junior players with sound fundamentals, and to provide more opportunities for NorCal most committed players to build rapport by training and competing with one another.
Players and coaches will be trained under the USTA Teaching and Coaching Philosophy, created by Jose Higueras and John McEnroe. Each of the three National Training Centers operate under this philosophy.
All section coaches, player personal coaches, and parents are welcome to attend any and all of the PDC’s to network, grow, and to learn from each other.
