The group in charge of tennis in the US is starting its first coaching program

The U.S. Tennis Association announced the start of its first all-encompassing coaching program on Wednesday, a little more than a year after an outside review of the USTA's safeguarding system offered recommendations for how to better protect players from abuse such as sexual misconduct.

“At the end of the day, we have to create safe environments for all our players,” Craig Morris, the CEO of the new USTA Coaching initiative, said in a video interview with The Associated Press from Florida.
