HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C.<\/strong> – The Professional Sports Registry (PSR), a newly formed organization dedicated to better serving coaches who are certified in two or more sports, is set to debut this summer. PSR will provide premium member benefits, education and cost savings for teaching professionals\/coaches in tennis, pickleball and platform tennis. From there, PSR is looking to expand into padel, squash, fitness, aquatics and possibly other sports.<\/p>\n PSR Chairman and PTR Immediate Past President Rodney Harmon stated, \u201cPSR will be focused on member service and satisfaction with the primary goal of improving the professional lives of coaches worldwide.\u201d <\/p>\n Initially, PSR membership requires certification in tennis (PTR) and either pickleball (PPR) and\/or platform tennis (PPTR). Those who have attained certification in two sports will be designated as \u201cDual Impact\u201d professionals. PSR members who have three certifications (PTR\/PPR\/PPTR) will be listed as \u201cTriple Threats.\u201d According to leading club employment recruiter KK&W\u2019s Len Simard, \u201cbeing a dual impact professional will be the minimum hiring qualification at top facilities moving forward with the preference toward attaining Triple Threat status in certain parts of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n PSR will provide substantial cost savings through the bundling of multiple memberships. Hemel Cosme, PSR Board member and club owner stated, \u201cIt will be much easier for our members to manage their certifications with one organization to meet their professional needs, which is important with everyone\u2019s busy schedule.\u201d<\/p>\n According to their CEO, Dan Santorum, \u201cPSR is a significant step forward in improving the career pathway, employment opportunities, and compensation structure for dedicated coaches. All PSR members have passed a background check and are incentivized to continue their education in their professions. Also, the certification bodies that PSR is comprised of (PTR, PPR, and PPTR) are officially affiliated with all three national governing bodies within each sport respectively.\u201d<\/p>\n Clubs that employ PSR members will also receive a premium discount on PSR consulting services. The demand may be for a single sport or the total racquet sports program. For example, with pickleball being a relatively new sport to most facilities, consulting for pickleball programs is currently in demand. <\/p>\n \u201cWe are excited for PSR\u2019s debut this summer, and we already plan to add another sport certification in August to complement its current stable of three sports,\u201d stated PSR Vice Chairman and PTR President Karl Hale. \u201cWe are living up to our motto \u2013 PSR . . . be part of something BIGGER.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C.<\/strong> – The Professional Sports Registry (PSR), a newly formed organization dedicated to better serving coaches who are certified in two or more sports, is set to debut this summer.
