Interested in becoming an ITA Official?

To become an ITA Official you must currently have a USTA certification of Foundation 2 or above, which is reflected in OfficialsFirst. Your local USTA office can provide you with the steps to becoming a USTA certified official. Additional training and certification to become an ITA Official consist of taking an open book test and attending an interactive webinar taught by a live instructor. There is also an annual $60 membership fee. To begin the process, just send us a message using our contact form.
