The Inaugural Certified Racquet Sports Executive Program was completed in December, 2020.

USPTA & PTR Member Graduates are awarded Continuing Education Credits

McMahon Careers, the private club industry’s only Executive Search and Consulting firm focused solely on Racquet Sports, is pleased to announce its first graduating class of Certified Racquet Sports Executives.

The CRSE Program is a 10-month invitation-only intensive study and experiential continuing education program designed for certified tennis and racquet sports professionals who aspire to manage, administer, and direct a private club program more effectively, professionally, and confidently. Upon successful completion of the course work and 100-point exam, graduates receive the respected CRSE designation. Graduates who are also USPTA Members are awarded 45 USPTA Continuing Education Credits.

“The CRSE Program is unique in the industry” says USPTA Master Professional Mark McMahon, President of McMahon Careers, the founder of the CRSE Program. “The professionals who completed this program demonstrated a deep commitment to their personal and professional growth, and to their profession. Maybe more critically for their employer, their regular interaction with the other professionals, as well as the knowledge gained from the delivery of the curriculum from a range of successful industry leaders, ensures that their individual racquet sports programs will be at the leading edge of creativity, innovation, and professionalism. I could not be more impressed, or proud of our graduating class”
