ACE is refining its development system, see comments from Andy Sutton, ACE Systems Consultant / Tennis Professional Toronto Tennis City...and stay tuned for more...
'I am very happy to have joined the group at ACE. It is wonderful to have been able to join such a strong team of talented and committed coaches. My involvement is primarily with Toronto Tennis City, but will still help with all operations at ACE. My job is to help harmonize programming in Burlington and Toronto by ensuring that the high performance academies are maintaining consistency across their offerings. This includes collaborating in the development of the specific curricula for the high performance programs. I will also use my expertise as a course facilitator to run training for the coaches in Toronto to help them more effectively manage programs from Mini tennis right up to the National group.
