What we look for in tennis instructors
We want coaches who communicate clearly, show up on time, and can teach with structure. Certifications can help, but professionalism matters most.
Reliable communication
Confirm scheduling promptly and keep client updates clear. This is a top reason coaches succeed.
Strong fundamentals
Ability to teach grips, contact, footwork, and consistency using clean progressions.
Background check
Required for all coaches. Trust matters for youth lessons and adult clients alike.
Experience with kids and beginners
Many clients start from zero. Coaches who simplify well tend to get repeat requests.
Transportation and flexibility
Mobile coaching works best when you can travel within your chosen radius.
Equipment readiness
Bring tennis balls and be prepared to adjust to different courts and lesson goals.
Cancellation standards that protect coaches
We respect time. All cancellations should be made at least 24 hours before the scheduled start time. Late cancellations may be compensated.
Preferred notice
Clients and coaches should cancel or reschedule with 24+ hours notice whenever possible.
Full compensation
If a lesson is cancelled very late, coaches may be fully compensated for that session.
Safety first
Storms and unsafe heat require rescheduling. We keep decisions consistent and practical.
