GREENSBORO, N.C. — Averett University tennis head coach Bert Poole recently gave a presentation to more than 100 high school coaches as part of the North Carolina Coaches Association workshop held at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

Poole's presentation on team practice organization used elements of practice plans he has used with his teams at Averett and he demonstrated examples of warmups, drills, competitions and fitness routines.

"My goal was to present practical and usable information for all of the coaches in attendance — something they could take home with them and actually use to help improve their players and their programs," Poole said. "For me, it was a great experience and my hope is that each coach felt that their experience was worthwhile and their time was well spent."
