The main task of the coach is to
teach people how to play singles, level and mixed doubles and to improve the
performance of the players in those games. In addition coaches should also know
how to - ensure
the safety of players when coaching; plan programmes and organise sessions;
deal with accidents and general emergencies; work with other coaches and other
bodies. In fact coaches are expected to be competent in all the various
activities related to coaching players in different venues.
