the United States Professional Tennis Association (USPTA) has been the leading organization for tennis professionals. As racquet sports have evolved since our inception in 1927 our organization has also changed to meet the diverse needs of those in the industry.
the USPTA will continue its journey as the Racquet Sports Professionals Association (RSPA). This transformation reflects our commitment to supporting professionals across all racquet sports, recognizing the diverse and dynamic nature of our industry.
As the RSPA, we're expanding our horizons to provide unparalleled career support for professionals in all areas of racquet sports. Here's what you can expect:
The transition to RSPA is more than a rebranding – it's a recommitment to our core identity:
While there may be easier paths to certification, the RSPA offers something more valuable – a lifelong partnership in your professional journey. We believe that the future of racquet sports requires more than just technical skills. It demands a holistic understanding of the industry, adaptability, and a commitment to service.
Join us as we embark on this exciting new chapter. Together, we'll shape the future of racquet sports, support each other's growth, and continue to share our love for the games that bring us together.
Welcome to the RSPA – where you can turn your passion into a pursuit.
We're excited to announce that a brand-new RSPA website is currently under construction. This new digital home will reflect our expanded mission and provide enhanced resources for all racquet sports professionals. While we put the finishing touches on our new site, this page will serve as an information hub for our transition from USPTA to RSPA. Stay tuned for the launch of our comprehensive RSPA website, where you'll find even more tools, resources, and opportunities to support your career in racquet sports.
