Simon Gale
Professional 1

This is the highest tested rating possible and is achieved by scoring in the 90th percentile on the USPTA Certification Exam. Tennis professionals must have a minimum of three years' teaching experience and be 22 years old. Professional 1 members are commonly considered for director of tennis or head tennis professional job opportunities. They should be able to develop lesson programs, direct activities, manage pro shop operations and oversee a tennis facility. A Professional 1 also should be able to handle employee relations tasks such as hiring, developing budgets, directing communications and serving as an integral part of the facility management team.

Welcome to my personal website. I have been teaching for nearly 20 years and have worked all over the world gaining knowledge and experience in an attempt to be the best possible teaching professional I can be. I currently direct the program at Yonkers Tennis Center where my staff of 12 teaching professionals teach over 500 juniors per week ranging from beginners to tournament level players.

Recently I started SGTennis Consulting in an attempt to be able to reach out and influence more players and teaching professionals. Services available include Quickstart Implementation & Staff Training, video analysis, developmental planning, club management, lessons and racquet restringing.

I hope to work with you soon
