About LoveSetMatch

LoveSetMatch is a nationally recognized 501(c)(3) charitable organization that believes tennis is better when it’s shared. Our mission is to inspire and empower youth through sports while building community, confidence, and healthy lifestyles. We run joyful, welcoming tennis programs in neighborhoods across Los Angeles—where kids, families, coaches, and volunteers grow together.

Position Overview

We’re looking for a friendly, enthusiastic Tennis Coach who loves the game and enjoys being part of a caring, supportive community. At LoveSetMatch, coaching is about more than forehands and footwork—it’s about showing up with heart, encouraging young players, and being part of a team that truly looks out for one another.

You’ll work alongside kind nonprofit coworkers, passionate volunteers, and grateful families who make each session feel more like a community gathering than a job.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Teaching fun, engaging beginner-to-intermediate tennis lessons for kids and teens
• Bringing our STEM-based tennis curriculum to life through games and movement
• Creating a positive, inclusive environment where every player feels welcome
• Encouraging effort, sportsmanship, and confidence (high-fives encouraged!)
• Helping with simple court setup and equipment
• Connecting with families and fellow coaches in a warm, professional way
• Being a positive role model on and off the court

Who We’re Looking For

You’ll be a great fit if you:

• Enjoy working with kids and being part of a community
• Have tennis experience (playing or coaching at any level)
• Are reliable, kind, and communicative
• Believe sports can change lives
• Like working outdoors and being active

Bonus points if you:

• Have coached youth before or worked in community programs
• Speak Spanish (not required, just appreciated!)
• Are studying education, kinesiology, sports science, or a related field

Schedule & Commitment

• Programs typically run after school, evenings, or weekends
• Sessions are about 1.5–2 hours
• We love coaches who can commit to a full program cycle (6–10 weeks), but we’re flexible and human

Compensation

• Stipend-based or hourly pay, based on experience
• Opportunities for more hours and leadership roles
• Strong references and real community impact

Why You’ll Love Coaching with LoveSetMatch

• You’ll join a kind, mission-driven team that supports one another
• You’ll make a real difference in East LA youth communities
• You’ll build meaningful relationships—with players and fellow coaches
• You’ll leave the court smiling (and maybe a little sweaty 😄)
