Teach for America . . . one squash player at a time.
The T Squash Academy seeks a Director of Boys Squash / Touring Pro
The
T Squash Academy is not your typical squash club. We are an
educational community that fosters the personal development of
Cincinnati youth through squash. Our successful model is
continuing to expand and we are looking to hire a full time Director of
Boys and Men's Squash to start in the Summer of 2016.
Our
squash development model has been praised by Kevin Klipstein, CEO of US
Squash, as being on the "leading edge of the development of the sport."
We have an 8 court facility in a large city that is dedicated to the
growth of the sport at the scholastic level, through public and private
schools throughout the city. We have successfully run three seasons of
Team Squash Leagues for middle school children and are looking to
expand our program next season. We currently have 60 children in
our programming, 22 of whom have begun competing in regional
tournaments.
Our facility includes eight (8) singles
squash courts, a study area for junior players, group fitness studios,
a Fitness Center, indoor / outdoor pools, tennis and paddle tennis
courts, basketball and soccer fields, indoor track, locker rooms and a
bar / lounge for parents. We offer a great working environment
and an innovative approach to growing the game in the Mid West.
The
position will be responsible for the continued development of team
based squash programming for middle school and high school teams, as
well as work with our tournament level junior players, and run our
adult men's league play. Coaching duties will focus on clinics
and private lessons, overseeing match play formats, helping to run
leagues, tournaments and camps and encouraging participation in Squash
at all levels, including the parents of our kids.
