Working with Move Your Feet Sports

Hello, and thank you for your interest in working with us during our summer camps.  We offer a wonderful working experience for the eight weeks of camp.  Our summer sports camp is a small one and we keep a low student counselor ratio. 

The first thing new counselors should know is that playing skills in Tennis and/or Golf is NOT a requirement for you to be an excellent counselor with us.  What we are looking for is a person who likes to work with young beginner athletes and can bring energy to the groups they work with.

Training.

This year I will require that the counselors attend training on the feeding methods and ball machine set up.  This training will be conducted on Saturday mornings in May and early June.  They will be run during the Saturday morning tennis classes.

Training hrs are paid at 50% of normal rates.

Pay Rates

The per hour rate for Senior Counselor is $15.  For Junior Counselors it is $12.   Payday is Friday and if you are not scheduled to work on Friday you can get paid on  the Thursday.  Additionally, I will often add a small bonus to a paycheck if a counselor demonstrates hi energy and strong initiative during the week.

Each counselor will have a dedicated google spreadsheet in which to manage their schedule and to provide an invoice to me for payday.

Schedule

The camp workday is broken into two shifts.  8.30am to 12.30pm and 12.30pm to 4.30pm.  This schedule ensures an overlap of counselors during the lunch break.  A counselor may be scheduled to work morning or afternoon or both.   The schedule will be managed in a spreadsheet.  

Counselors shift begins half an hour before the camp begins.  Anytime later than that and you are late.  If for some reason you are running late, you must contact me or another counselor to let us know that you are on your way and running late. 

The counselors are expected to view the camp website to see the summer schedule and other FAQ’s for the camp.

Dress Code

Every counselor will be given camp t-shirts which they must wear while working the camps.  It is important that the players and their parents know who is working the camp.

Every counselor must wear neat athletic clothing.  Tennis shoes only.   No Crocs etc.
