One of Saint Lucia’s leading tennis coaches is feeling refreshed and ready to teach after returning from the recent Regional Coaches Conference (RCC) in Trinidad & Tobago.
According to the Saint Lucia Tennis Association (SLTA), coach Scyla Murray’s attendance at the high-level event, aimed at coach education and professional development, marks an important step for tennis in Saint Lucia, and for the ongoing promotion of women in sports on the island.
“Attending conferences such as the RCC is vital for the growth and development of coaches,” said the SLTA. “It provides access to cutting-edge methodologies, global best practices, and an opportunity for coaches to exchange ideas with their peers from across the region.
“Coach Murray’s participation enhances her knowledge and will directly benefit tennis in Saint Lucia. Upon her return, she will share her learnings with local coaches, helping elevate the standard of coaching and player development across the island.”
Coach Murray leads the Junior Tennis Initiative (JTI) programme, which helps introduce the sport to a new generation of young athletes, ensuring that tennis grows and thrives at the grassroots level.
Her participation in the RCC was made possible through educational grants provided by the International Tennis Federation (ITF).
Coach Murray is based at the National Tennis Centre in Beausejour.
