We are opening a new, state-of-the-art, 8-court facility as part of a nationally recognized Top 10 Academy. Our other locations have a proven track record of success, and we are looking for the founding team to replicate that here. We are building a strong, collaborative team. We are starting with 6 coaches , with a plan to scale to 9•. Once the location reaches a pre-determined revenue target, all coaches will share in the academy's net profits•. You are not an employee; you are a future partner in creating a high-performance culture. What We Are Looking For We need a sales-minded communicator who also has a elite tennis IQ.
