If you are tired of community centers taking a massive cut or chasing down your own leads on crowded public courts, this role is built for you. We serve premium clients who expect excellent coaching, clear communication, and a consistent experience. You bring the coaching expertise to the court;
we handle the operations, marketing, client acquisition, and billing.

• Ultimate Flexibility: This is an independent contractor (1099) role. You set your schedule based on your availability and client demand.

What You'll Do:

• Coach private and small-group pickleball lessons for mixed ages and skill levels.
• Provide individualized feedback on technique, movement, and strategy.
• Create simple, effective lesson plans tailored to each student's specific goals.
• Communicate promptly and professionally with clients regarding lesson logistics.

What We Are Looking For:

• 1+ years of coaching experience (pickleball or tennis coaching welcome).
• Professionalism, punctuality, and the ability to work independently.
• Reliable transportation to travel to local courts.
