Preschool Teacher - Alexandria, United States - Advantage Tennis

Description

Do you know that to coach and teach tennis to young kids doesn't require tons of tennis-specific knowledge or experience?

You can be a Preschool Tennis Coach with your early childhood experience and expertise, and we can provide you the physical and sport activities curriculum integrated with classroom type activities.

We coach preschool kids to love this life-long sport and give them fundamental athletic development and cognitive learning, in a social emotional learning environment.

• Advantage Tennis_ is looking for coaches/teachers who like working with all ages 3 to 7, and specifically preschool age kids (3 to 5 years old), for parttime and seasonal positions.

The first 3 things we look for in an Indeed applicant review are:

• Experience working with preschool kids
• Some athletics and/or sports in your background, not necessarily tennis.
• You need to live close enough to Alexandria Virginia to commute to our locations, with transportation to get around to our locations, approximately between South Arlington and Mount Vernon.

The things we are looking for in you beyond the initial Indeed review are more about your attitude and experience.

We are a coaching, teaching, and training organization in the health and wellness area of sports. Your experience as a parent will count toward our required experience with pre-school kids.


RESPONSIBILITIES:
Conduct private and group tennis coaching sessions for preschool students, possibly 1st to 3rd grade as well.

Follow a tennis curriculum that also promotes health, fitness, and social education.

Plan and lead structured lessons consistent with the Tiny Tennis curricula we will provide you.

Provide positive solutions to players (and kids' parents) to enhance their life skills and abilities, including fundamental agility, balance, and coordination.

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. 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.

Communicate with our players and their parents in a professional, timely manner.

WHEN:

Our coaching, teaching, and training opportunities include weekdays and weekends, morning, noon and night, and work is seasonally heavy for 3 seasons.

Our preschool program can be done indoors or outdoors.

• Availability for after elementary school programs, approximately 2 PM to 4:30 PM are a big plus.
• Ability to work during days/mornings is also a big plus, and preschool frequently ends around noon.
• We design our programs around our coach/teacher availability, and around our customer's needs.

QUALITY PRIORITY:
We are looking for positive coaches with communicative, motivated, life-experienced/educated, and relevant qualifications. We value diversity. Your work here is both independent and team collaborative. You will be a key valued member of our team that prioritizes quality.


WHO WE ARE:
We are a small coaching, teaching, and training business making a positive difference in people's lives. We teach modern, healthy play styles with a positive player development approach. Character and social development are both tenets in our junior programs.

Character and tennis performance cannot be separated, nor can the social aspects of development and lifetime play be separated from the game.

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

Our curriculum goes beyond the common certifications and integrates them into a holistic package. Our mantra includes continuous lifelong learning, and continuous improvement of ourselves and others. We develop players' physical, mental, emotional and life skills.

One curriculum, many coaches.

You will have the opportunity to improve your coaching skills and improve our curriculum. Tiny Tennis with 3 to 5-year-old children is the curriculum we are hiring for.

Up to your level of play, you will have opportunities to:
teach children to run after-school tennis programs; coach at day camps; and/or teach 10 and under ten
