High School Girls Tennis Head Coach

We are hiring a part-time High School Girls Tennis Head Coach to begin work in the 2026-2027 school year. The goal of our coaches is to further instill Christian virtue into the moral fiber of our athletes. Our coaches are not forming and shaping an athlete that can do something but rather an athlete that can be someone. Athletics provides a unique and awesome opportunity to develop discipline, perseverance, and responsibility. A natural result of this focus will be a passionate desire to win and succeed in our athletic endeavors. Our coaches seek to nurture a will toward excellent performance in harmony with good sportsmanship, humility, and grace. We expect all student-athletes and coaches to model Christ-like behavior in victory and defeat. The development of godly character helps point to the ultimate goal of doing it all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and giving thanks to the Father through Him (Colossians 3:17).
