About The Position
We are seeking enthusiastic and reliable Tennis/Pickleball Coaches to teach beginner-friendly sessions to elementary school students in Grades K–5 (ages 5–10) at school sites around the Bay Area. Programs include summer camps from June through August, an after-school program starting in September and continuing through the school year, and Saturday tennis clinics starting in September. Sessions aim to provide young beginners with a fun, active, and supportive environment.

Summer camp schedule options are half-day mornings from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, half-day afternoons from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM (possibly extending to 6:00 PM), and full-day camps from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM (possibly extending to 6:00 PM). Summer camp and Saturday clinic pay is $18–$24 per hour, with back-to-back sessions available. The after-school program runs Monday through Friday between 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM, typically with one approximately one-hour class per day and possible additional 30 minutes of pre-care; pay is $50–$65 per session. Coaches with strong tennis skills and coaching ability may be offered Saturday clinics. Coaches use provided lesson plans and company-provided equipment. Before starting, instructors attend a two-day training or shadowing session.
