Local tennis players have NOT been
achieving anything of significance in recent years. That is exactly why fully qualified tennis coaches are essential to raising the game.

It seems as if this act is quite the opposite of complacent

As far as other professions are concerned maybe they should follow suit. Tennis looks to be ahead of the game in this regard.

Either immigration officials failed in their duty to be sure the process was followed correctly or the process itself is flawed. Its really simple There will not be 1 future application put through by an employer that will be supported by the BLTA.
Get real

keep fit trainers, music teachers, soccer coaches etc. etc. Does Bermuda not want to raise standards or merely remain complacent and behind the rest of the world who are seeking to improve skill levels.
Premier Burt has just made the statement that Bermuda needs more people coming in from overseas. He did not say except those in the tennis professional category.
When some of the island’s hotels are now charging $400-$600 a night at least they should be able to expect a tennis pro showing up for a booked lesson unlike the recent pro’s reputation at a certain property.
