HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C.<\/strong> – Professional Platform Tennis Registry (PPTR), the newly formed subsidiary of Professional Tennis Registry (PTR), has announced it has signed a partnership agreement with the American Platform Tennis Association (APTA) to become the Official Education and Certification Partner of the APTA. The multi-year agreement will be a tremendous benefit to hundreds of racquets professionals who want to add or enhance their coaching skills and become certified in platform tennis.<\/p>\n \u201cPPTR is thrilled to be working with the APTA. The APTA is a dynamic organization with a forward-thinking Board and a dedicated staff that is helping grow platform tennis, said Dan Santorum, CEO of PTR, PPR, and PPTR. \u201cIt is a natural partnership, because many PTR and PPR members, mainly in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest, want to add PPTR to their credentials. As a professional membership organization, it\u2019s important to provide PPTR members with the tools they need to do their jobs better, to serve their members\/employers better, and to improve the overall health of both sports.\u201d<\/p>\n As an introductory offer, those who join PPTR as a Charter member now will get FREE membership through the end of August. PPTR workshops will begin in September, which is the beginning of the inaugural PPTR membership year. As an added incentive, those who are members of PTR and\/or PPR will receive a deeply discounted price to join PPTR.<\/p>\n This agreement with PTR\/PPR\/PPTR furthers the mission of the APTA to grow the sport and improve the experience for all platform tennis players,\u201d said APTA CEO, Amin Khadduri. \u201cNot only has PPTR patterned their platform tennis program after their successful and accredited tennis coach education\/certification, but they have demonstrated a desire and willingness to work directly with the APTA to improve teaching and to grow our sport.\u201d <\/p>\n PPTR\u2019s curriculum was designed by Patricio Misitrano, a tennis and platform tennis professional, with the assistance of several platform tennis champions. \u201cAs a proud PTR\/PPR\/PPTR and the APTA member, I am thrilled to play an important role in this exciting new partnership. The APTA and PPTR partnership is a huge positive for platform tennis!\u201d said Patricio Misitrano, who serves as PPTR\u2019s educational consultant and lead clinician. \u201cI am excited to create the educational curriculum and videos to further the knowledge of those teaching platform tennis. I look forward to conducting PPTR training and certification workshops.\u201d<\/p>\n PPTR and the APTA both see platform tennis as a complementary sport for tennis and pickleball, which provides a boost to the racquet sports industry. Tennis manufacturers, facilities\/clubs, court builders, and pros are benefitting from the growth and increasing popularity of platform tennis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C.<\/strong> – Professional Platform Tennis Registry (PPTR), the newly formed subsidiary of Professional Tennis Registry (PTR), has announced it has signed a partnership agreement with the American Platform Tennis Association (APTA) to become the Official Education and Certification Partner of the APTA.
