UK Racket Stringers Association

 Training and Support for stringers 

If you have a working interest in what happens when the ball/shuttle meets the racket strings, then the UKRSA can provide the training and support to help you. 
NEW - 50% off all Tyger strings from tennisplanet for UKRSA members only
Training courses have been the big success story, with coaches, players, parents and retailers achieving the certificated two-day Professional Stringer award and gaining the skills, knowledge and confidence to tackle any racket servicing task. Forget the one-day intro courses that will only just give you enough information on how to start fumbling around.
