[gvttc general] Introducing GVTTC Coaching Programs

[Andre MARONIAN]

<<< LIVE NOW >>>

GVTTC,

I’m happy to announce another necessary step in our GVTTC roadmap … coaching.  It’s no coincidence that there are clubs much newer than ours (in some cases only a few years old), that are breeding top players in much less time and growing faster.  GVTTC is ready for this growth and we’ve made the necessary steps to become one of the strongest clubs in our region.  Our coaching staff is as follows.

GVTTC Head Coach: Koen Kron  - Lead coach that will drive all coaching initiatives
Coaching Consultant: AJ Carney - Advisor to the coaching staff with occasional visits to run special camps and more.  From Rochester, currently rated 2400, and has been USATT certified top coach for many years.
GVTTC Part-time Coach: COMING SOON Dustin Zemaitis - requires Safe Sport Certification and working on his availability
Training Partners:  Andre Maronian, Ahmet Okutan, Marc Maronian  …. will be used in group sessions from time to time to help students with their drills while coaches rotate tables and advise.


Prior to launch, it was necessary to identify someone that could dedicate full-time type availability as a head coach so we’re elated that Koen has agreed to this.  His passion for the sport and desire to grow the club is perfect for our needs.  We appreciate his commitment to this plan.  It’s also important that the long term coaching roadmap is consistent with USATT coaching standards.  AJ Carney knows this inside and out and will help advise Koen and the club on best practices.

Coaching Services
We have two options available at this time and details on prices are on our website.
A)  1on1 lessons with a coach (Koen only at this time) - This training type is available now and around the availability of club hours and Koen’ schedule.  You can book Koen immediately through our website by clicking the “1on1 with Koen” button.  You can book specific appointments and lock in your spot.  These lessons will take place on both the front room and main floor when applicable.
B)  Group Sessions: Details on times available on website - STARTING IN MAY
	- Group Lessons - For anyone that knows the basics all the way up to top players.  People will be grouped accordingly.  We’re running these twice a week: Wednesdays and Saturdays for 2 hour slots.
	- U10 Lessons - Kids under the age of 10 years old for 1 hour focused around fun, basics, and a desire to return for more.  We’re running this session on Saturdays only.
	- NOTE
		- We plan on adding more sessions in the future by looking at adding Friday hours when it makes sense.
		- We will be using main floor tables (up to 4) for these sessions based on signup
		- You can lock in your spots for all sessions now

To make managing the club easier, you’re going to notice a new theme where we’ll want you to use the website for all signups.  Our coaches are going to ask you to use the website and NOT book appointments verbally to best help them manage their appointments.  Our new system gives them a robust APP where they can easily manage this effort.  Please don’t give them a hard time when they tell you to use the site …. I’m warning you in advance.  It’s also important to expect this same approach with just about everything else.  Managing different ways to signup/pay makes life much more difficult for those dedicating their time to important roles in running the club.

We look forward to this new chapter in our clubs history.

Sincerely,
Andre Maronian
President GVTTC
