Golden Bay Tennis Club is looking for a new head coach.

We are a small, rural and friendly club.

Our coach of 15 years has retired and we now look for someone new to take her place.

Traditionally we've had Thursday afternoon as our coaching day for all ages, from 5yo to adults,

and Saturday morning for the younger kids - red, orange and green levels.

This could all change though, to suit a new coach and new ideas...!

Our goal is to give everyone in our community the opportunity to learn and play tennis!

Your main job will be teaching the basics of the game to our children, of all ages and levels, 

but could potentially grow to adult's sessions, private lessons, holiday programs and more.

You will be initially working side by side with the club's committee, our local (volunteer) coach and assisted by teens if necessary.

Your remuneration will come from grants, so for that you need to be formally qualified.

Ideally you'll be living here in the bay, but could also come from "over the hill" once a week or even once a fortnight.

Golden Bay is situated 2 hours north of Nelson.

A fairly isolated, rural, friendly community.

We're surrounded by beautiful beaches and two national parks... so plenty to do.

If you're passionate about tennis, good with youngsters...

Looking for a challenge, or willing to share your experience...

Seeking a place to raise your family, or semi-retire...
