Scott Smith
Professional 1
This is the highest tested rating possible and is achieved by scoring in the 90th percentile on the USPTA Certification Exam. Tennis professionals must have a minimum of three years' teaching experience and be 22 years old. Professional 1 members are commonly considered for director of tennis or head tennis professional job opportunities. They should be able to develop lesson programs, direct activities, manage pro shop operations and oversee a tennis facility. A Professional 1 also should be able to handle employee relations tasks such as hiring, developing budgets, directing communications and serving as an integral part of the facility management team.
After 25 years in Florida and the Caribbean my wife and I have relocated to beautiful Martha's Vineyard, MA. Although we made it through our first winter without a scratch, it was a little cold. I realized I could not wait until the summer, but in Florida, it was the opposite, you dreaded the summer. I also realized that after teaching inside a bubble for six months, I have some white skin! Oh well, I am sure my Dermatologist will appreciate it.
Things are hopping at the Vineyard Youth Tennis Center with an increased amount of children and activities. We topped out at over 200 children per week in the Fall, Spring and Winter and summertime brings us around 300 children per week! I know, I am lucky I am still alive, but I do enjoy it and have been doing it for a long time, it keeps me young.
Welcome to my website and I hope you enjoy it. As you go through the different tabs you will find info about myself, the facility and other stuff. I would love to hear from you as I am always open to discuss anything you like about tennis. I can be contacted on the contact page.
