Become a TAG Coach
Our standards are stringent — every TAG International tennis coach Singapore joins our team only after meeting elite requirements. Each coach is highly certified, able to strike the ball at an elite level, and competes in tournaments. We accept only the best tennis coaches Singapore has to train with.
Requirements
- ATP or ITF Ranking during professional or junior competitive career
- Top 10 Player in home country
- Certified by ITF, PTR, USTA, USPTR, GBTCA, TCA, or AATC
- Proficient English speaker
- Keen eye for trainee deficiencies with ability to correct effectively
- Dedicated attitude towards trainee’s improvement
Beyond our resident coaching team, TAG International students train within a network of world-ranked players and coaches whose credentials are independently published and verifiable. This is the difference between marketing claims and provable pedigree — every ranking below can be checked on the coach’s own profile site.

Japanese professionals Coach Takeuchi and Coach Ochi coach through our partner academy, Sanwa X Tennis Academy. For a dedicated overview of finding the right coach for your level, see our guide to choosing a tennis coach in Singapore, or the wider roster on tagtennis.org. Several TAG coaches also coach the fast-growing sport of pickleball — Coach Vince Geo Serino is a Philippines National Pickleball Champion (2023) — with sessions available through PickleChoo, Singapore’s premier outdoor pickleball courts.
How do I verify a tennis coach’s ranking or credentials in Singapore?
Ask for the coach’s certification body (PTR, USPTA, ITF or AATC), their CoachSG (NROC) registration, and — for competitive coaching — their own playing record. TAG’s senior coaches publish theirs on independent profile sites, for example coachxt.sg and tagcoachboalburo.com, so you can confirm them yourself.
Which TAG coach is right for my child versus for me?
Junior development specialists focus on age-appropriate technique and the competitive pathway, while our directors of tennis and world-ranked coaches suit competitive juniors and adults chasing measurable results. Tell us the player’s age, level and goals and we will match the right coach — start with our kids tennis lessons or adult tennis lessons.
