Pointless resubmission without any attempt at improvement; previous decline still stands. Your 'references' are not references, they are just a list of external links. You need to cite them against the information they provide, so that it is clearly which source has provided what information, and how much of this remains unreferenced. As it stands, this could be just you telling the world about your organisation, which is inherently promotional (see WP:YESPROMO).

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

This draft's references do not show that the subject meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for organizations and companies. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:

provide significant coverage: discuss the subject in detail, excluding routine coverage like product launches, staff appointments, or financial reports and listings in databases or listicles;
are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
are independent: not connected to the subject, such as press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

Women's Tennis Coaches Association

The Women's Tennis Coaches Association (WTCA) is an international professional organization for tennis coaches working with female players. Founded in 2015 by former professional tennis player and coach Sarah Stone, the organization provides professional development, educational programming, networking opportunities, and advocacy for tennis coaches. The WTCA's stated mission includes increasing opportunities for women in tennis coaching and supporting the development of coaches working with female athletes.

History

The WTCA was founded in 2015 by former WTA Tour player and coach Sarah Stone. Early leadership of the organization included former world No. 29 Ann Grossman Wunderlich, former WTA player Alexa Glatch, and former professional player and coach Nicole Kriz. The organization's original board also included Brian Thomson, Deborah Miller, Anni Miller, and Tammy Lee Anderson.

Since its establishment, the WTCA has organized educational events, conferences, and professional development programs for tennis coaches. Speakers at WTCA events have included former professional players, coaches, and sports science professionals such as Billie Jean King, Lindsay Davenport, Justine Henin, Mary Pierce, Gigi Fernández, Kathy Rinaldi, Nick Bollettieri, Robert Lansdorp, Mark Kovacs, and Judy Murray.

Partnerships and Conferences

The WTCA has collaborated with tennis coaching organizations including the Professional Tennis Registry (PTR) and the United States Professional Tennis Association (USPTA) on educational initiatives, webinars, and coaching programs.

In partnership with the PTR, the WTCA hosted its inaugural conference dedicated to coaching female tennis players in New York City on 26–27 August 2017. The conference, titled The Art and Science of Coaching Female Players, featured presentations from coaches, former professional players, sports psychologists, and sports science professionals.

The PTR later recognized the WTCA with its Partner of the Year Award in 2019.

Activities

The WTCA provides educational resources, networking opportunities, mentoring initiatives, and professional development programs for tennis coaches. The organization has identified the underrepresentation of women in tennis coaching as a key issue and has developed programs intended to support the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women coaches within the sport.

Awards and Scholarships

The WTCA established the Andrew Florent Spirit of Coaching Award in memory of former professional tennis player and coach Andrew Florent. The award recognizes contributions to coaching and service within the tennis community. Recipients have included Nicole Pratt, David Witt, and Maxim Filippov.

In 2019, the WTCA established the Jolene Watanabe Scholarship, which was created by Sylvain Elie, Sarah Stone, and Ann Grossman Wunderlich, with additional support from Tammy Anderson and Marianne Werdel. The scholarship provides financial assistance to tennis coaches pursuing professional development opportunities.
