About the job
Join us at TGA Sports as we embark on an exciting journey to introduce pickleball to the youth of our community! We are seeking a passionate and dependable coach to help us create a vibrant program from the ground up, with significant potential for growth in terms of hours, locations, and leadership opportunities as our program expands.
Initial Launch Locations & Schedule:
Liberty School – Petaluma (Fridays)
- Grades 4-6 from 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Flyte Racquet Club (Weekends)
- Weekend sessions, likely in the mornings
- Exact times to be determined based on coach availability
This role starts as part-time, but our aim is to expand — more hours, more days, and more locations as enrollment increases. If you are eager to shape a dynamic program rather than just clocking in and out, this position is for you.
Ideal Candidate:
- Experience in pickleball (teaching or playing)
- Comfortable working with children
- Positive, energetic, and reliable
- Enthusiastic about promoting pickleball in the community
Preferred Qualifications:
- PPR (Professional Pickleball Registry) Certification
- Certification through the Racquet Sports Professionals Association (RSPA)
This position focuses on pickleball, but there are also opportunities to teach tennis and/or golf for those with relevant skills seeking additional hours.
If you have a passion for pickleball, enjoy working with kids, and want to contribute to an expanding program, we would love to hear from you!
Requirements:
- Strong background in sports with general sports knowledge.
- Reliable transportation, as all programs are conducted at local schools and parks.
- Ability to communicate effectively and build strong relationships with children and parents.
- Punctuality is essential, as classes are held after school and children depend on your presence.
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively.
- Bring your personality to make classes engaging and fun!
- Maintain equipment and coaching kits.
- Update class rosters and complete student progress reports.
