• Advantage Tennis_ is looking for coaches/teachers who like working with all ages, and particularly children, for parttime coaching. Additionally, we are interested in finding coaches for preschool classes.

FIRST PRIORITY:

We are first looking to hire coaches with coaching, teaching, and playing experience, and classroom and PE teachers get credit for that experience, with flexible schedules.

We are a coaching, teaching, and training organization.


RESPONSIBILITIES:

Conduct private and group tennis coaching sessions for players of various ages, skill levels, including beginners, intermediate, and advanced players.

Plan and lead structured lessons focusing on technique, tactics, strategy, movement, mental skills, and overall player development.

Provide positive solutions to players (and kids' parents) to enhance their tennis skills and abilities, including shot selection, positioning, game tactics and strategy, and mental skills.

Social emotional learning and character development are significant parts of our curriculum for coaches to implement into their classes.

Create a positive environment. We believe in positive coaching, always. Players learn better with enjoyment, and you will enjoy your coaching more as well. You can be a part of making a world of difference.

Collaborate with other coaches.

We have a weekly communication on coaching, our programs, and administrative housekeeping; and, coaches work together in a lead-follow relationship for many of our group classes.

Continued Education:

Keep updated on the latest trends, techniques, and rules in tennis by attending workshops, conferences, and relevant training sessions.

Keep certifications current.

WHO WE ARE:
