What Are Tennis Jobs at Summer Camp?
Tennis Jobs at Summer Camps
Tennis jobs at summer camps are some of the most in-demand racquet sports coaching roles in the country. From traditional sleepaway camps with multiple courts to specialty tennis residential camps featuring USPTA-certified pros, tennis staff find rich teaching environments throughout the summer where they can develop young players at every level. If you played in college, hold pro teaching certifications, or coach competitively, summer camp tennis is a perfect summer gig.
As a tennis coach at an overnight camp, you’ll teach groundstrokes, volleys, serves, and match strategy while running drills, clinics, and intra-camp tournaments. You’ll plan progression-based programs, manage equipment, and coach across skill levels. Many co-ed residential camps run tennis alongside pickleball, racquet sports, and team sports, giving multi-discipline coaches a packed and varied summer.
What does a tennis coach at summer camp do?
You’ll teach groundstrokes, volleys, serves, and strategy while running drills, clinics, and tournaments. Most sleepaway camps include tennis in daily athletics rotations throughout the summer camp season.
What background works best for tennis jobs at sleepaway camps?
College tennis experience, USPTA or PTR certification, and prior coaching experience are highly valued. Specialty residential tennis camps often prefer coaches with high USTA rankings or collegiate coaching backgrounds.
Do summer camps provide tennis equipment?
Most overnight camps provide balls, hoppers, and basic equipment. You’ll usually need your own racquet and tennis shoes. Specialty residential tennis camps often have additional training equipment and ball machines on-site.
What does the pay look like for tennis jobs at summer camps?
Pay is competitive and commensurate with experience and credentials. Sleepaway camps include room, board, and laundry alongside salary, which adds meaningful value to the overall summer camp package beyond the base figure.
Can current college tennis players coach at summer camps?
Yes — many residential camps actively recruit current collegiate tennis players. Just verify NIL and NCAA compliance with your athletic department before accepting any paid camp coaching role at a sleepaway camp.
