VESTAL N.Y. -- Head women's tennis coach Paul Caceres took a major step in his career this winter when he completed the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's CoachUp credential program.

"It was a privilege being accepted into the 2025-26 Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) CoachUp Course," coach Caceres stated. "The course was educational and informative in helping to enhance my coaching knowledge and the fundamentals of coaching college tennis. 

This virtual, intensive program provides college tennis coaches at all levels an opportunity to enhance their mastery of the sport. For seven months, Caceres learned from top experts and coaches from across the country.

Coach Caceres was one of 45 coaches selected to participate in the program back in June.

"I am grateful for this opportunity and completing the course," coach Caceres said.  "I would like to thank Lauren Conching, Director of Coach Education at the ITA who moderated CoachUp."
