TGA of Southern Westchester is looking for enthusiastic, reliable coaches to join our growing after-school enrichment team.
We provide structured golf, tennis, and pickleball programs for children ages 5–15 at schools and community facilities throughout Southern Westchester and Fairfield County.
Our mission goes beyond teaching sports. We want to help children build confidence, teamwork, sportsmanship, and a lifelong love of being active. We are looking for coaches who believe in that mission and are excited to introduce kids to sports they can enjoy for decades.
TGA coaches may be assigned as either a Lead Coach or Station Coach, depending on experience, qualifications, and the needs of each program. Both are active coaching roles.
Lead Coaches independently run an after-school class and are responsible for creating a fun, safe, organized, and engaging experience for their students.
Lead Coaches must be 18+ and successfully complete a background check.
Lead Coach compensation is based on experience, qualifications, and coaching responsibilities, with standard Lead Coach rates up to $75 per class On a limited basis, highly experienced or qualified coaches may earn up to $85 per class
Station Coaches work alongside the Lead Coach and help deliver instruction, drills, games, and activities to smaller groups of students.
Station Coach compensation is up to $45 per class, based on experience and qualifications.
Working as a Station Coach can also provide an opportunity to gain experience and take on Lead Coach assignments as you become familiar with the TGA curriculum and coaching standards.
We provide the curriculum, all necessary equipment, and comprehensive training.
You don't need to spend your time creating lesson plans, purchasing equipment, or figuring out what to teach. We give you the tools and structure—you bring the energy, personality, and ability to connect with kids.
We also maintain an 8:1 or better student-to-coach ratio We believe smaller groups allow coaches to provide more individual attention while creating a safer, more engaging experience for every child.

This isn't a job for someone who simply wants to show up and pass the time. We are looking for coaches who care about the experience they create for children and take pride in helping a child discover a sport they may love for the rest of their life.
After-school enrichment is our core focus, but there are opportunities to pick up additional coaching hours through:
Coaches with strong knowledge and playing experience in golf, tennis, or pickleball may also be asked to lead our sport-specific clinics.
Our after-school programs generally take place between 2:30 PM and 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday
We're particularly interested in coaches who can commit to multiple afternoons per week and who want a consistent part-time coaching position rather than occasional work.
Additional opportunities may be available during school vacations, weekends, and the summer.
We believe the best youth coaches aren't necessarily the people with the most impressive playing resumes. They're the people who can take something they love and share that passion with a child.
TGA provides the curriculum, equipment, training, and support. You bring your knowledge of the sport, your energy, and your ability to connect with kids.
