ITF National Officiating Program

ITF National Officiating Program
The Rwanda Tennis Federation’s ITF National Officiating program is designed to significantly bolster the expertise and effectiveness of tennis officials within the country. By expanding the number of trained officials and deepening their understanding of tennis rules and regulations, the program aligns with the goals of the International Tennis Federation (ITF) Officiating program.
This initiative aims to enhance the overall quality of officiating, ensuring that officials are well-versed in international standards and best practices. As officials increase their knowledge and capabilities, the program contributes to building a robust officiating framework in Rwanda. This advancement not only improves the local tennis experience but also positions Rwandan officials to meet international criteria, paving the way for them to participate in global tournaments and raise the profile of Rwandan tennis on the international stage.
