Coaching players across our programme (juniors, students and adults), providing them with an excellent experience on court every time working with the rest of the coaching team. This position will also focus on our 10&U programme to ensure we’re providing the best experience and pathways to help inspire children to play, and stay in the game.

This role is 22 hours per week.

What will you be doing?

The focus of the role will be coaching on our junior programme, leading coaching sessions for children. The coaches are responsible for setting up sessions, registering players, leading excellent sessions every time and working with the wider tennis team on the quality of our programme to make sure all our juniors have the best possible experience and can maximise their potential with us (with a focus on 10&U players). There will also be opportunities to work with student and adult groups and to deliver individual lessons.

The University of Bristol Tennis Team are responsible for the design, delivery and development of programmes for children, students and adults. With over 1,000 players on the programme each week we need a brilliant team of coaches, assistants and volunteers to help us maximise potential of our players on and off the court. The majority of our coaching and competition programme runs off of 4 indoor courts and 4 outdoor courts at Coombe Dingle Sports Complex, BS9 2BJ with some of our programme spilling over on to courts across the campus / city to make the sport as accessible as possible.

Our team are incredibly committed, reliable, passionate and knowledgeable and we’re looking for another LTA Accredited, Level 3 or 4 coach to join us on a part-time basis to help us deliver on our community programme. If you have experience coaching children and are an engaging, passionate and knowledgeable coach we want to hear from you.
