Job Opening: Head Pro, Ottawa, Ontario
Posted August 17, 2011
Description:
The 150,000 sq. ft. Ottawa Athletic Club was established in 1976 and since its inception has continuously endeavored to uphold the traditional values of a private family oriented club by offering superior service and the most complete combination of programs, equipment and activities to its members.
The facility includes 6 squash courts, 2 racquetball courts, 8 indoor and 6 outdoor tennis courts, a 12,000 sq. ft. indoor golf school, indoor and outdoor salt water pools, a 20,000 sq. ft. exercise and training area (featuring a 143 m indoor running track), sports store, café, physiocentre, spa and much more.
With a view towards both improving the quality of service provided and maintaining its place as a leader in the fitness industry the OAC has recently undergone a $4,000,000 transformation. Completely overhauled locker rooms, a new and inviting entrance and members lounge area, an entirely new fleet of strength and cardio equipment, and new squash court doors and flooring are but a few of the highlights of the renovation project.
The Ottawa Athletic Club’s squash program is a very active one with programming for both adults and juniors alike. We offer clinics and round robins for adults, a hugely popular Monday night house league and social evening, and a box league that allows members to connect with fellow squash players. Adult squash members also have the opportunity to participate in a city-wide league that connects different squash clubs in the Ottawa area. Our junior squash program introduces the sport to our younger participants in the form of 12 week clinics for ages 8 to 17, and by way of private lessons with our squash professional (s).
