JAX Fray - Pickleball Host

Join JAX Fray Part-Time as a Pickleball Host!


Is this You?

You are fun, outgoing, energetic, and reliable. You love pickleball. You've played since you were a kid. Maybe you've even coached, or refereed before. Working without direct supervision isn't a problem for you because you know how to get stuff done and solve problems. You are good at handling dynamic situations, keeping calm in a storm and otherwise being a fun and sociable person! You know how to Make Fun Possible - when the party starts to die, you're the one to get everyone back in the groove and make sure everyone is having a blast! Having a passion or background in sports doesn't hurt either!


The Opportunity


Our Coordinator's/Hosts' primary mission is to make league night the best night of the week for our members. Integral to our mission of making fun possible, coordinators/hosts lead the charge on the court, set the tone, and embody the United Fray brand. Being naturally enthusiastic, outgoing, and ready to play, they make fun possible for our members- whether that's creating their own league trophy, bringing a speaker along to the games to get the vibe just right, or starting a game of Flip Cup at the sponsor bar after the game. Coordinators/Hosts show up for every game, provide leadership to ensure that everyone is following the rules of the game, and are hands-on with respect to set up and tear down of events.
