Certifications

Everyone here is credentialed. All of them.

Not just the pros running high performance: the whole staff, front desk included.

PTR Level 1

Every pro on staff holds Professional Tennis Registry Level 1 certification, which is what keeps our lesson plans running to a shared standard rather than personal habit.

USTA Safe Play

Every staff member and every pro is USTA Safe Play certified: background screening and abuse-prevention training, renewed on schedule.

CPR certified

All staff are certified to provide CPR by the Plainfield Fire Department. Whoever is closest when it matters knows what to do.

I couldn’t be prouder of the team of individuals that we have at Five Star Tennis. From our front desk staff to our tennis teaching staff, to the administrative staffers, our focus is making the Five Star Tennis Center a second home for so many tennis players and their families.
