Job Description

About the role Golden Racket Academy is hiring a Private Tennis Coach to deliver 1-on-1 and small-group tennis lessons at local courts and client-preferred locations in Loxahatchee and surrounding areas (including Wellington, Royal Palm Beach, Greenacres, and West Palm Beach).

We currently have an active roster of clients waiting in the area. If you are tired of club politics, chasing down your own leads, or giving up the majority of your hourly rate to a facility, this role is built for you. We serve premium clients who care about coaching quality, clear communication, and a consistent experience. You bring the coaching and leadership on the court; we handle the operations, marketing, and client flow.

What you'll do

• Coach private and small-group tennis lessons (beginner through advanced).
• Improve technique and performance in: serve, return, forehand/backhand mechanics, footwork, consistency, and match patterns.
• Create simple lesson plans tailored to each client's goals.
• Communicate clearly with clients about lesson logistics (location, time, expectations).
• Show up on time, prepared, and ready to run a high-quality session.

What we're looking for (must have)

• 2+ years of paid tennis coaching experience.
• Strong fundamentals and the ability to teach technique simply.
• Professional, punctual, and comfortable working independently.
• Reliable transportation for local travel in the Loxahatchee area.
• Comfortable coaching adults, seniors, and juniors.
• Able to pass a background check (required for client trust).

Nice to have (not required)

• CPR certification or recognized coaching credentials (USPTA, PTR, etc.).
• USTA league coaching, junior development, or competitive background.
• Ability to bring extra racquets and balls for beginners.

Pay and structure

• Up to $60/hr, based on experience and coaching level.
• This is an independent contractor coaching role (1099).
• Flexible scheduling based on client demand and your availability.
• We vet the clients and guarantee your payouts. No chasing down Venmo payments or dealing with flaky cancellations.
