Sebastian River coach John Danise and Vero Beach coach Jack Armistead have built solid tennis programs at their respective schools. So it's no surprise the two veteran coaches will give presentations this week at the Florida Athletic Coaches Association meeting in Daytona.

Danise is the tennis chairman for the FACA and has put together a comprehensive program for the three-day seminar, including presentations by college coaches and World Tennis Association pros.

"I set the agenda, but I try not to give just my point of view on things," Danise said. "I see a lot of people with different views. Whether I believe it or not, I want to put things out there for discussion."

Danise will give his speech on essentials for a personal development plan or business plan.

Armistead, who has coached at the youth, high school and college level since the 1960s, will speak on building a successful high school tennis program. In seven years at Vero Beach, Armistead's teams have gone 83-11 and won four district titles.

"Jack has coached successful programs for a lot of years," Danise said. "He has a point of view on the subject. One thing people are always asking is what it takes to build a successful program. He's a good presenter, and I'm looking for people to get these coaches excited about teaching young people." - Kevin Van Brimmer, Press Journal
