Youth Sports Coach

TGA of Fairfax is looking for energetic, dependable, and positive **Youth Sports Coaches** to lead after-school Golf, Tennis, and Pickleball programs at schools throughout Fairfax County and Northern Virginia.

This is a great part-time opportunity for college students interested in education, coaching, sports management, kinesiology, recreation, athletics, or youth development who want hands-on experience working with children.

What You'll Do

- Lead fun, organized after-school sports sessions for elementary-aged students.
- Teach fundamental skills in Golf, Tennis, and/or Pickleball using TGA's established curriculum.
- Create a positive environment where children can learn, compete, build confidence, and enjoy being active.
- Manage groups of students safely and effectively.
- Set up and break down equipment before and after each program.
- Communicate professionally with TGA staff, school personnel, parents, and participants.
- Arrive on time and reliably attend your assigned programs throughout the season.

You Do NOT Need to Be an Expert in Every Sport

TGA provides training, curriculum, lesson plans, and equipment.

While experience playing or coaching Golf, Tennis, or Pickleball is a plus, we're primarily looking for people who are dependable, enthusiastic, coachable, and genuinely enjoy working with children.

We're Looking For

- Strong communication and leadership skills
- Dependability and punctuality
- Positive attitude and high energy
- Ability to engage and manage groups of children
- Interest in sports, coaching, teaching, or youth development
- Ability to follow a structured curriculum while making sessions fun
- Reliable transportation to program locations throughout the area
- Availability during weekday afternoon hours

Previous experience working with children through coaching, camps, schools, recreation programs, childcare, or similar settings is preferred but not required.

Schedule

Programs are primarily held weekday afternoons after school, making this a great position for students looking for flexible part-time work around their class schedule.

Coaches may work multiple programs per week based on their availability, with opportunities for additional coaching through camps, special events, and other TGA programs.

Why Coach With TGA?

You'll gain real-world experience in coaching, leadership, communication, class management, and youth development while helping introduce children to sports they can enjoy for a lifetime.

We're building our Fall 2026 coaching team now and are looking for coaches who want to grow with TGA beyond a single season.
