ITF introduces the ITF CODE OF ETHICS FOR COACHES
The topic of coaching ethics was discussed at length by the ITF Coaches Commission in 1998 and as a result it was decided that the ITF should establish an official ITF Code of Ethics for coaches. The Code, which was produced in consultation with the ATP and WTA Tour, is intended to provide a series of constructive guidelines to assist coaches in their profession and in particular in situations that may have ethical implications.
The Code forms part of the ITF Coaches Education Programme and is included in all ITF coaches workshops including Level I, Level II and Level III coaches courses. National Associations are also encouraged to use the Code in their coaches’ education programme and to ensure that coaches at all levels of the game sign up. The Lawn Tennis Association of Great Britain have already published the ITF Code in their coaches handbook that goes out to all qualified coaches.
The Code is available in the form of a certificate in English, French and Spanish. National Associations requiring further information regarding the ITF Code of Ethics should contact the ITF Development Department.
