It offered attendees a unique opportunity for PTR members — offering 8 hours of high-impact education, bonding, and inspiration. Attendees also received some fun promotional giveaways from the PTR and their partner Court Reserve.

According to PTR Event Coordinator Dimitri Vlassov, "Our National Education Day offers PTR members the exclusive opportunity to partake in a day of coach education and networking. This event features over eight hours of education designed to help our coaches fulfill their continuing education (CE) requirements. A lot of work went into putting this event together and we do it all for our coaches. We are excited to be in the heart of New York City! Stayed tuned for more events coming up across all of our racquet sports."

Overall, the experience offered an opportunity to learn from leading voices in the coaching industry as they shared real-world strategies and tools to improve your lessons, player development, and programming.
