TSA is recruiting for a head coach to run our new Growthpoint tennis development centre in Cape Town. The Growthpoint development centre is the first of three to be launched in selected Provinces between October 2017 and April 2018. This new centre in Cape Town will be centrally funded by TSA and will have six key focus areas:
- Collaborating with, and providing coaching support, to existing tennis development hubs in the region.
- Working with the Province to create new tennis development hubs in the region.
- Providing coaching mentorship and education support to coaches at development hubs in the region.
- Collaborating with target schools in the region to provide coaching support and tennis opportunities for learners at those schools.
- Talent identification and long-term player development planning for talented juniors – especially those from under-served communities.
- A high-performance squad programme for talented junior players – either on a full-time or part-time basis.
The head coach, with support from an assistant coach, the province and TSA head office, will be required to fulfil all the above focus areas as part of his/her day to day responsibilities. In short - we are looking for a person who has plenty of energy, a strong work ethic and is comfortable working across both grassroots tennis coaching, as well as high performance junior tennis coaching. This role is intended for someone who has a passion to grow tennis across all communities in the Western Cape.
Should you feel you are a suitable and qualified candidate for this role, then please send your CV and a covering letter to: [email protected]. Applications close at 4pm on the 12th October 2017.
